So I resurrected my Amiga 4000 this year as a bit of a project.

I replaced the PSU fan (loud!) and installed a CF<>IDE adapter (cheap
- about $15).
She's now quieter than my PC (A4000 IDE is notoriously bad).

There's a few things remaining:
- Disk performance (I have SCSI).  CF<>SCSI is $$$
- Better networking - using serial PPP to my Windows PC now.
- I'm struggling with 16/24 bit graphics modes as my monitor goes out of sync.

Can you believe I learned Linux on this system?
There were no distros at the time so I had to learn the hard way!

p.s. If you really had an A1000 it's probably worth quite a bit.
