    Hi,
    got an Alpha 2 and a matching controller standing here.
    Would like to know what they are worth right now. The Alpha Tower was an alpha 1 but has been upgraded in it's lifetime to sport the NV20 Video Card and the Wolfson Micronics AMR sound Card.
    The Controller is the later one with the Xbox Text written on it.

    @Mods i will retake a photo of the controller and Alpha tower to comply with the forum rules in the next 24 hours!
    Was in a bit of a hurry and forgot that a price check also needs the validaton.

    The Alpha is running Build 3521 right now. That's the way i got it and i haven't ever changed anything on the original Harddisk.
    I got two other Recoveries for it. They are "May 2000" and Dec "2000".
    Got a few more shots showing the recovery process and the state it boots up to after the recovery. The May 2000 recovery had a note with build number 0526.

    The following photos are from the May 2000 recovery:

    And the December 2000 recovery:

    It's complete, has original (Alpha I)power supply(250W), AMR sound card is a huge plus with these.
    Also correct video bios, and the hard to duplicate XBOX splash screen on the motherboard.
    Legit complete unit with hammerhead controller.. $550.00 - $850.00? depending on buyer

    I agree with the price Syclopse said, around $600-$800 complete. I passed up on one without the sound card once and wish I hadn't. Those are hard to find. From what I understand the sound card was crap even back then. lol

    Added the validation Photos! Sorry for the delay!
    As most of you have noticed it has never been torn apart, is complete, fully functionall and even has the green jewel at the front.
    Only the frame of the case has a slight nidge as it seems to have been dropped. But no major damage!

    Thanks for all the price estimates!

    650€/$ is realistic yes. But i think when you really want one you pay some bugs more.

    With todays silly Xbox prices on eBay, I wouldn't be surprised if this got over $2000.

    I'd like to know where Assembler buys all his gear from for so cheap!?
    This is a NICE unit. Don't sell it for less than 800usd.
