I second the suggestion to build your own board.  I'm currently working to
acquire all the components to build Georg Braun's GBA1000 board (described
well at http://www.illuwatar.se/project_pages/gba1000/gba1000.htm), which
fits in an A1000 case.  It's pretty darned similar to an A3000.

I suspect that you could get a board (there was a new run, last year), by
asking on AmiBay, maybe in this thread:

Good luck!
