I have an Atari 520st with extra disk drive and monitor
I've not played on it for years and it won't flog on Ebay, I might have to get it all out and have a play on it now, I'm sure I've still got all 3 Gobliiins disks.

My mum
flogged her 1040 STe about two years ago including a whole bunch of professional standard DTP software and more peripherals than you can shake a stick at. Personally I remember it for playing Magic Pockets and Xenon 2. You might have some luck if you can find the thriving underground ST community.

Ohh way back in 94 I think, I'd just started my first proper job aged 19. What did I blow my first wage packet on? A 120mb (yup, a whole 120mb cor) HDD for my 1040STe. IIRC it cost over £600 (my first wage packet bulged a bit due to not having to pay tax on it that month for some reason explained to me by Dave from Payroll, but long since forgotten). I didn't intend to spend that much, but all the smaller (and cheaper) size disks were sold out. The thing is in a 12" metal case, about 1-2" deep, and I still have it somewhere! It was great, I loaded up *all* the monkey island disks, a word-processor whose name I can't remember, and a DTP proggy as well as a stackload of shareware. Bliss!

Money well spent.
