OS 4 hardware

As far as porting to other platforms, it would not bother me if they did.
Terra soft solutions has a nice rig, but out of my price range. I do not know if porting to Macs has any legal problems.
I do not see myself getting a mac anytime soon. I have 4 of them and 3 are ppc oldworld.
It would be nice to use them.

Why do ppl repeat this claim "porting to Mac has legal problems" that often? To my knowledge (well, biased from being within the EU) there is absolutely zilch probem. Apple can - to some extend - forbid that their software is used on other computers, but they cannot forbit that other OSes run on hardware tey build. Or is that different in other countries?
Wouldn't matter though, since the both Amigaish OS companies are EU based (MorphOS: Germny, OS4: Belgium).

I just did quick a good search and came up with this page:

Check the 5th comment down, labeled " Pricing is VERY high".

Pegasos was in exactly the same boat while it was being made. Also don't forget the Sam440ep comes with the CPU, 1/2GB RAM and a graphics card.

I'm not saying the Pegasos is overpriced, I'm just saying neither are exactly cheap, but for the same reasons.

Well, the PegasosII G3 was 299 EUR. Add about 150-200 for hdd, case, and gfx and RAM ad hou have ended a bit below 500 EUR. About 5 years ago!
Yes, it was not the cheapest computer ever around, but definitely that "new Amiga" with the best price/performance ratio we've seen since the demise of C=.

I checked via wayback machine and in 2005 you could buy Peg2/G4 complete system for 700e.

But I recall there were initially higher prices, something like 500e for G3 and 700e for G4 (motherboard and CPU module only). I could not find references other than a price reduction annoucement from Genesi in 2005.

Your link lists PegII G4 systems oly. The G4 was listed @ 480 EUR, the G3/600 came down to 299.
The Peg 1 G3 was 480 EUR initially (IIRC, at least that's what I paid back in 2002). All prices excl. VAT.
