(we need more fake hope threads so here..)

It is a 603e PPC running at 266Mhz, has a 4meg flash (Oooo OS4 in a kickstart), USb2, Gigabit ethernet and it runs Linux so we can ask for the sourcecode! Oh and its only £100!:hat:
Now if it only had a Cell and a few PCIE x32 slots.. oh and maybe a monitor output would help.:insane:
Im sure with this OS4 and the Amiga could beat all those PC's and PS3's to be the best computer! :angel: :banana: :kitty:

So this is a headless server. Which means you use it to serve content and access it via a web interface. But if someone adds a VGA output, it would work as a desktop Amiga.
It's a GREAT point that if someone can release an embedded board with a 603e PPC at 266MHz for such a low price - why can't someone release an Amiga board with similar specs for a similar price. Even without AGA chipset for backwards compatibility, I'd be happy to run OS 4 and spend money on AmigaOS software.
Then someone can port the latest UAE to it and I can run old Amiga games and software in emulation.
WHY, OH, WHY WORLD WILL YOU NOT GIVE US A NEW AMIGA? I'm willing to buy as are many others. :-?

Yes it can! And probably to something else which is even slower than this, like the Casio wristwatch for example
