I was pricing components for my 2000 the other day, and complained how much money everything was (well, 030 boards are very expensive!). Then I had this crazy thought - how much CAN you spend on a 2000? I started adding up the numbers, and got a huge suprise! So the question is : how much hardware can you add to a 2000, and (more importantly) how much does it cost? EVERYTHING can be included, except software only packages (i.e A-Max qualifies). I have a short list - could you add to it (and possibly complete the prices area)? 50Mhz 68030 board AT Bridgeboard De-Interlacer VGA Monitor A-Max etc.. (can't bother writing any more) The only criteria is if there is a choice between two things, then choose the BEST and MORE EXPENSIVE one. I'm trying to bump up the total as muchg as possible! Also, you don't have to connect them all at once (you would soon run out of slots). Any piece of hardware will do that does something useful. Would anybody like to continue this list (I know it's incomplete, but I'd like some things I haven't thought of before).
