Go up one level in this thread


 I want something that hits around 2500 or so. Ruud has done an

my interest in the Resurrection comes from the Collecting stand point
if the Res lives up to what it was billed as..then it will be the STRONGEST
dedicated computer ever released AND it will be the only computer ever released
to contain more then two programs

from a Collectors view point this makes the RES an historical achievement

i also like the idea this was a limited edition of only 25 units

for the non collector however i can certainly agree that the modules are
expensive for the playing strength achieved so far(2400 Elo)

however perhaps when the 3 additional Engines are ready to go the rating will go
past this

even if Saitek were to start making the Res in some other from..the original
modules by Phoenix(the name of Ruuds company) will always be a highly sort after
collectors item..IMO


Best
