I coudn't ever justify a computer that expensive, but it's not fair to think that Aeon is gouging the customer.

I believe that's never been the case except for maybe few troll extremists. It's perfectly understandable that production of hardware in such small amounts means huge costs per unit. And there's also CPU choice that ended up being not very lucky.
Though obviously it doesn't in any way change the fact that you get ridiculously overpriced hardware compared to other computing choices(power & software/price), so except hardcore Amiga hobbists noone will go for it :crazy:

Trevor said something about using some different components in the next version that will reduce the cost.
I don't think it'd be much(enough to not make it ridiculously overpriced) cheaper even with that, but only time will tell :sealed:

This is what I have in the future for collectable reason: https://acube-systemsbiz.serversicuro.it/shop/en/80-sam.html
Looks pretty cool :pint:. What brand of ATX PSU does it have inside(if you know)? It instantly made me wonder why does it have a 500W one if it'd be perfectly satisfied with a good quality power box delivering half or even less of that.
So seeing the 500W just for sake of numbers makes me suspicious :razz:

Edit: I wrote "half or less"? Damn, I meant tenth or less. It's just horribly inefficient that way =/
