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).
