Tim, Sounds like you have a pretty nice BB setup there. However, $2000 sounds a bit high to me. My entire PC side setup cost me about $1200. This includes Super VGA/Mouse port w/mouse (ATI VGA Wonder+), 5 megs total ram (BOCA 4meg ram which also provides serial & parallel ports), and sound card (ProAudio Spectrum which also provides sound mixing capabilities and SCSI port to connect CD-ROMs, SCSI HDs, etc), and 20mhz 386sx performance (Aox accelerator). Like you, I probably would've bought a clone if I didn't have the BB already. But my total cost for the BB and cards wasn't much more than a PC clone anyway, since I bought the 2286 and most of the cards used. Its been fun showing off my MPC-compatible Amiga to friends with PC clones that aren't yet MPC compliant (because they don't yet have a MPC sound card w/CD-ROM drive & Multimedia Windows 3.0). -sun
