Do you think the AmigaOne X5000 will be available to buy on the Amigakit website this summer? Thanks.

I meant the whole Computer Bundle, not just the Motherboard.

Can't you buy/find cases, power supplies, some where on the isle?

Well, you could always install the PCI versions of these cards...
I don't know about the CMI8738 driver, but the driver for the Envy24HT ought to work on either type of card.

And, depending on how the card is designed, the Envy24HT definitely has the potential to provide better quality sound (than the alternatives).

However...Envy24HT cards are rapidly becoming unobtainable (and for some reason Acube has posted an image of a Tremor based card instead).
Also, the CMI8738 is the cheaper and much more commonly available solution.

I'll probably try one of those in the PCI variant.

I got my cmi8738 pci-e card from AmigaKIt! No problems here!

I am pleased that Amigakit have resellers to shoulder the burden of 'launching' the X5000 but I still think this low key approach to actually marketing the machine is a bit depressing to be honest.

I would need a push to make an investment in one of these machines and Amigakit make it as difficult as possible for me to buy one off the shelf. I've never 'pre-ordered' hardware and when there were no A1200s in stock for Christmas 1995 I bought the Special Reserve Super CD32 bundle with SX-1. A good choice as it happens especially after an upgrade to the SX-32. You can only buy what you are offered and at the moment Amigakit only offer a mobo and even then you have to ask nicely ;-)

I, too, like being treated well when I'm spending money...

But, we have to "help" our amiga dealers, (which I like to do)
