In my previous post here I quoted the cost of the mobo from the developer.
I see no mention of 600 in that post.

I read the link above my post...  even at $515 thats way too much.  That thing needs to sell for about $300 US with OS4.

but you need to question what you want: a decent price point, or a reasonable spec ?
cos until the numbers pick up, the economies of scale mean its one or t'other. no two ways about it, especially if you want a good quality build.

@TheMagicM

Please understand that my previous post related only to the fact that you used the term
"motherboard", and that I was merely trying to point out the developer's quoted cost on that
cost was significantly different than what you stated.
Discussing what constitutes a "complete system", I agree, is a different topic.
Note that this is scalable, which means options affecting end cost to users are available.

Almost $600 for a motherboard? you've got to be f'in kidding me

Gotta keep going back to the question of WHY they never selected the Pegasos II. Too late now, obviously.

$600 isn't going to lure too many, a few hundred perhaps.  :-(

what a weird place is becoming "amigaland"! (generally speaking)

Moderators thats acts like trolls.... trolls whom become moderators!

erm!... hey red, nothing to sell today? ;-)

@red:  
I agree.  There's already a motherboard out there...why not use it?  Nothing is that easy in Amiga World.

@#6:  why start out with a "flagship" motherboard price when you are looking for a "intro" to the new Amiga?   Get a cheap and good mobo out that runs OS4 or MOS.. then get the more expensive and faster mobo out to lure people that want a power system.

I hate to see what deals like this would do to any Amiga Revival!!!!!http://go.theregister.com/news/http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/11/13/redten_free_pc_package/

Hi,

You know this is no JUST a motherboard... processor (normally you will pay like ~$100), graphic card (I know this is standrad), memory (~$50-100)and other "stuff". Considering that they do this for maybe 10000 people (my imagination is big ) it's not bad...

I can build my ami based on that for about $700 not bad at all. My condition is OS4 without that I don't event think about that.

Mac mini is around $700-900. Yes, I know it's different configuration, but Ami DON't need so much to run VERY nice. (other example is Vista vs. XP... you have to have 2 Gb ram, you HAVE TO ).

The Red One is coming

I just read this old discussion of the SAM440. If they can work out a license deal for AmigaOS 4 are people still thinking that 450 Euros is too much. I'm seeing old PPC cards and even some 060 accelerators go for most/all of that.

So it seems there are some that really want to run OS 4. I'm one of them. I'd love to help get new hardware on the market running AmigaOS 4. Now Acube has the board for sale. Does anyone have the inside scoop on if they'll be able to get licensing of AmigaOS 4? I'd imagine this is a big part of the legal battle since I'm sure Amiga, Inc. hasn't learned from past history and wants to be the sole hardware supplier.   :roll:

Well anyway, I'm just curious if anyone has heard anything new on this.

Looking back at this thread really intrigued me.
