I just came across this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-1200-tower-Blizzard-1260-card-zorro-scandoubler_W0QQitemZ280208709824QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280208709824

It is due to end in 8 hours but has had no bids yet which I think is due to the silly high starting price of £699. Even with the hardware included this is very optimistic. Starting closer to £300 would be more realistic in my view.

This auction includes the following:

- Amiga 1200 in GIFT tower (two power supplies inside the tower to have better stability of the system)
- turbo card Blizzard 1260/50 with SCSI controller! (the best turbocard ever made for A1200!)
- ELBOX scandoubler with Flicker/Fixer
- 64 MB RAM
- graphics card PICCOLO
- Zorro slots (PCI, RAM and others) made by Micronik
- SCSI socket outside
- 2 hard disks (one in removeable case)
- CD burner Lite-On
- CD drive
- 3,5" floppy disk drive
- PC keyboard
- Amiga mouse
- Amiga mousepad

Nevermind the insane price.

What about the insane "two" PSU's, one just bolted in at a dodgy looking angle.

I mean, why on earth would an Amiga need 2 power supplies? It barely uses the output from one!

I thought that too. Just sort of dangling there and probably banging against the expansion cards. Mad the custom setups some people build.
