Amiga fans would buy any amount of them overnight for $2000 (almost).

If that price includes OS4, RAM, HD, GFX card etc etc, sure...

At any rate, this looks like a great PPC mobo to run AmigaOS/MOS on.

The HW specification is quite competitive.

PS; NVIDIA MCP is also available for Transmeta’s X64 chip (another HTT enabled CPU).

@Dan
"what cooling solutions is available for G5?"

That blade card hints that PPC970FX can survive with very little cooling. Otherwise those blades do not fit in rack.

Perhaps they ran passively cooled @ 1Ghz???
Or @ 1.6Ghz if the rack itself has enormous fan arsenal ???

Surely not @ 2.4Ghz.  :-P
