3W for the CPU si nice, but what does the whole mobo take ?

Looking at the layout of the "old" A1, I would guess more than
a Cyrix or Transmeta  based mobo.

Also, people buying servers don't buy servers, they buy trust,
which are they more likely to find in the big names.

Someone buying a renderfarm would also have lots of options.

About the boards being stuck in Cologne :

Oh well, there really seems to be hell of bad luck goming
with the name. Final proove of the "Amiga-curse" ?
  :-o

@olegil

The SE has looooooots of small parts (/me lacks the right word
for NOT intregrated circuit, discret ?), these will allways
use more power compared to an IC.

AFAIK 17W is what the whole Pegasos-mobo with CPU takes, and I've
heard of mini-ATX/ITX mobos going even lower.

A men gotta do what a men gotta do  :-P

BUT, they purchased Amiga IP rights from Gateway 2000, in Dec. 1999 for at LEAST $5,000,000.

WHERE IS THE PROFIT? It's 3 1/2 years later, how are we being gouged??? SOMEONE needs to pony up their investment cost. And there aren't 250,000 of us out here to split the cost
......

a) Noone really knows how much money was really paid as it was
pretty much an insider deal.

Gauging the sum would benefit Amino (AInc) as it made them look
bigger then they were, and GateWay as it was easier to apiece
the shareholders of the loss made with Amiga-adventure.

Looking back at what prices were paid by Escom and later GateWay
when there still was a real market, I would say 5m $ is/was way
out of line.

b) Even if it is true, so what ?
They paid for IP the didn't want to know, just to get an obscure
brand-name and the chance to lure developers to a completly
unrelated platform (Intent). Only when they found out that this
didn't work they decided to go back to the real AOS.

Two f***-ups and 2 scams later they gave it to Hyperion.

So why should they have any rights on us users ?

[Kronos]

As for f***-U.P.S. and scams, and rights on us users, everybody makes mistakes, but, I wouldn't say scams. THEY WILL NOT GET ANYWHERE IF THEY SCAM.

They have taken money for someoneelses products twice, knowing
that those products didn't exist in a soon to release state,
but still people are defending them.

They haven't even been able to deliever a few $ of pre-payed
cotton after 2/3 of a year, not even a REAL reason why they
didn't deliever,
but still are defending them.

I would say they allready have gotten away with it.
