I forgot about the vga adapter on the 3000.
That was why I went with an Amiga 3000 and an Atari TT030 in the late
90's. I'm hoping to revive both machines this winter, both spent way
to many years in storage while we lived in an apartment. Now that we
have a house they're at home with us, and I have some room to work on
them.
The upgrades are getting expensive these days though.
Look at this:

I just can't bring myself to spend $500 on an amiga. Many fine
woodworking machines can be had for that. Still, the 68060 boards are
awesome.
I didn't realize Software Hut was still around. Guess I just had bad
timing last time I tried to go to their website. That's not that bad
of a price, I think they were slightly more 10 years ago.

hoping to revive my A500 and/or A3000 this winter)
I'd like to have a 500 and 3000. Care to trade a working 2000 for both? :-D
I got rid of 3 A2000's a couple years ago to another list member. At
the time I needed the space more than 3 A2000's. I still have 1.5
A500's, 1 A600, 2 A3000's, and 2 A1200's (I might be able to build 1
working from the two, but it need's surface mount work). The A3000 I
got from someone who got it from Magni (I also have a pair of Magni
Genlock's), and I fully upgraded it with the latest chips, full
16MB+2MB RAM, ethernet, a Picasso IV video card, and Amiga OS 3.9. I
never could bring myself to spend the $$$'s on a CPU accelerator
card. The 2nd A3000 is basically pristine in the boxes. Though I
think the keyboard is in an A2000 box, not an A3000 box.
