Looking on eBay it seems you can get an A500 for about £100. If you were looking for a machine on the cheap you could stick with the 0.5MB expansion that most of them have, or perhaps go for a cheap accelerator. The cheapest I know of is the TerribleFire range, which are all open-source (self-assembly required unless you can find someone to build one for you). The TF530 would be a decent upgrade, not would you have an 030 for playing some of the more demanding OCS games you'd also be able to store your games on CompactFlash storage:

Talking of the TerribleFire, the developer posts video blogs of their development on YouTube, it's fun to follow along if you're into retro hardware. His latest board is a CD32 expansion he designed the PCB for in a weekend!
