I thought the price for the beta board was £1,150. The case is another £150 or so, adding drives memory etc would push it above £1,500 by some, but not a lot. Still looks rather pricey compared to USD 174 for a motherboard though...
AmigaOS appears to be aiming for the classes not the masses, but realistically that may be the only way to survive financially.
