my first (and arguably biggest) achievement with computers was, when i made a working amiga 2000 out of 3 non working ones (i was 9). ofc back then chips weren't welded rofl)
+ i got a 20md hd and 3 external floppy disk ... what a monster.
never forget !
(oh i also wrote a shitlload of stuff in basics. Some "3d" geometric animations, but mostly text (input) based apps. With the big ass basics book at my side, looking for each command rofl.
ah good times ...

A friend have a R-Pi Amiga. Works fine.. but there's no point really. It's not a REAL Amiga, it's a simulation.
For cool projects:
Amiga 550: http://www.amiga-digital.nl/index2.html
It uses original Amiga chips plus a few addons. Unfortunately it's not working 100% yet, apparently due to the board manufacturer making a dud. That's the issue with making a single prototype board, it could be a hit or miss, esp. if you're trying to keep costs down.
| Quote: | Proto Amiga 550 Replace Board
this board got , IDE , 2 clock poorts
Zorro-II connector for a Picasso-II
a connector for the Mas-MP3 Player
a turbo slot for a 68020,68030,68040 turbo |
Then there's the Amy aka 416D79, a complete redesign of an Amiga 500 motherboard. It still use the original chipset and CPU. The later revisions have some extras added like two Zorro-II slots, CPU-slot, PS/2 etc.
There's one caveat: you get the board, then you have to build it (ie. solder all the components on like sockets, caps, resistors, connectors etc... You can/could choose to get all the components in a box with the order (and obviously a description of what goes where) or you can keep the price down and simply get the board and then find and order the parts yourself from the huge list of components needed. 
Oh, you also need an A500 chipset from an Amiga 500/500+. That's the easy part though.
Personally I'll stick with the real deal.
Current collection:
Amiga 500 rev.3 (the one with the high quality NMB/Hitek keyboard and a C= logo and a C= key instead of a second A button) with kickswitch (1.2 / 2.04), 512KB Chip and 512KB Slow (expansion), first version ever sold in Europe and only for a month and a half before they switched to a new revision with a cheap Mitsumi-keyboard using rubber-domes instead of springs.
Amiga 3000D (68030 @ 25MHz with FPU 68882), 1MB Chip and 8MB Fast (32-bit static column ZIP's), using a PCD-50B SCSI card-reader with a 4GB Compact Flash as a harddrive. Zoom. I seriously need a graphics card for this one.
Amiga 1200 w. Blizzard MKIV 68030/MMU/FPU @ 55.5MHz (overclocked by changing crystal), 64MB 32-bit Fast RAM - best accelerator ever made. IDE-CF-adapter with 4GB Compact Flash as HD. Indivision AGA MK2cr flickerfixer and scandoubler and so much more with DVI out which is making it work perfectly well with any modern LCD. Next step: FastATA 1200 MKIV (to get PIO5 instead of PIO0 from the crappy IDE-controller on the A1200).
I need to get an Amiga 4000 later.
And the 8-bit world:
Sinclair ZX81 - got one for free this weekend. I needed one for my collection.
Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K+ - The version using the 128K style keyboard and sweet cover. Got a Kempston Pro interface (three joystick inputs in this order: kempston/cursor, sinclair 1, sinclair 2) and a game cartridge port that can be used to connect all sorts of interesting things.
Commodore 64c - Got two of them white classics. Both working. Nothing more to say here really, a "new" (C128) look to an old classic. Got an original 1541 (brown, black front flip-mechanism with a rainbow logo) and a second 1541 that has the old shape but is white with a turn mechanism instead (ie. it's not a 1541-II).
Commodore 128 - This is coming to papa soon.
I need to get the breadbox 64 (I've lost mine, no idea where it went).
A Spectrum 128k, Spectrum +2 and so on.
