So what Amiga hardware items do you currently have on your wish list, that you would buy if you had the cash spare?
I have a number of items on my wish list, some are rare so hard to find whatever the price, while others are things I wouldn't normally spend money on over other things I wish to buy, unless I suddenly came into some money or changed jobs for one paying a lot.
Of the hard to find items, I would love to get hold of:
A4000T, and upgrade it with a PPC accelerator and any other expansions I can get hold of.
A4000 Cyberstorm 060 or PPC accelerator for my A4000.
A1200 Blizzard 060/PPC accelerator card - if I got hold of one of these I would instantly plan a tower conversion including a PCI expansion board and PCI graphics card.
CDTV. I always wanted a CDTV but they don't really have much actual practical uses these days so it would just be for collecting and not to use. I sometimes see them appear on ebay for around £50 and am always tempted, but then don't bother as I know I wouldn't really use it.
A3000. I owned one of these many years ago, but then sold it once I got hold of an A4000. I've regretted that ever since due to the better design that included the flicker fixer built in.
Amiga One - I wanted one of these when they were in production, but now you just don't see them come up second hand.Other items on my wish list:
CatWeasel controller. I've wanted one of these for quite some time and will get one very soon.
A1200 tower conversion - tower, PCI breakout board etc... I've wanted to do one of these conversions for a long time (ever since the original Power Computing and other tower conversion kits appeared years ago).
PPC accelerator and OS4. With the release of OS4 at the end of the month I think all Amiga fans will now have this on their wish list. :)
A1200 Dragon Coldfire expansion. If this ever gets released I may consider one of these in a tower conversion instead of going for the PPC/OS4 route.
Laptop CD-RW drive fitted inside the standard A1200 case with a buffered IDE interface.
PC in an Amiga project. I've mentioned this one before, and it's not specifically an Amiga project. Uses an Amiga A1200 case and keyboard and fitting a miniITX motherboard inside, interfacing the keyboard via a KeyRah controller and using a CatWeasel installed at 90 degrees on a PCI riser and connected to a floppy drive in the Amiga's original drive bay.
