The '''Amiga 3000T''' is a computer manufactured by [[Commodore International|Commodore]].  It is closely related to the [[Amiga 3000]], although it came in a [[tower case]] which offers greater expandability.  The case for the prototype, the 3500, was derived from [[Commodore PC compatible systems|Commodore's PC compatible line]].<ref name="a.r.cx">{{cite web|url=http://amiga.resource.cx/mod/a3000t.html |title=Amiga Hardware Database - Amiga 3000T |publisher=Amiga.resource.cx |access-date=2016-12-18}}</ref><ref name="bboah3500">{{cite web|url=http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=29|title=A3500 - Commodore|publisher=Big Book of Amiga Hardware|access-date=2016-12-18}}</ref>

Like the desktop variant it is based upon, the A3000T has a CPU FAST slot which allows for processor upgrades. Later models were offered with a [[Motorola 68040|68040]] CPU in this slot, and third-party upgrades can be used to add a [[PowerPC]] processor.

The A3000T has a variety of [[drive bay]]s{{snd}} two 3.5-inch drives and one 5.25-inch half-height drive, mounted horizontally; and two 5.25-inch half-height drives mounted vertically. Inside, behind these bays, there is space for two more, internal, 5.25-inch half-height drives. The available drive bays make it possible to internally install up to seven drives in the A3000T.

The A3000T's specifications closely resemble the horizontal-cased Amiga 3000, but the motherboard has been heavily redesigned.  As a result, the expansion-slot layout is more like the [[Amiga 2000]]'s with five [[Zorro III]] slots, one of which is inline with the video slot, and four 16-bit [[Industry Standard Architecture|ISA]] slots (passive), two of which are inline with Zorro slots (activated with [[Amiga 2000#Technical information|bridgeboards]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=25|title=A3000T - Commodore|publisher=Big Book of Amiga Hardware|access-date=2016-12-18}}</ref><ref name="a.r.cx" />

At introduction, the retail price of an Amiga 3000{{clarify|reason=desktop or tower?|date=December 2016}} system could exceed $5000, depending on configuration.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} As a result of its high price and poor marketing, the machine did not sell in great numbers.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}

The machine is reported to have sold 14,380 units in Germany (including [[Amiga 3000]] sales).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bergseth |first=M. |date=November 25, 2014 |title=AMIGA SOLD IN UNITS BY COMMODORE IN GERMANY REVEALED |url=https://distrita.com/amiga-sold-in-units-by-commodore-in-germany-revealed/ |website=Distrita - Where to Go |access-date=15 May 2023 |archive-date=13 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170713160208/https://distrita.com/amiga-sold-in-units-by-commodore-in-germany-revealed/ |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>
