"presumably a whole system, will be more than $2,225"

Begs the question what constitutes a whole system? In A1000 days, that would mean:

* A1000 (Keyboard and mouse)
* A 1084.
* Operating system

I don't think you will get a monitor in this new system. But I could be wrong. And I am a little taken back at the cost. Still interested. But after reading above thread and threads here; I do finally understand what 'troll' means. It's apparently any one who proceeds in conversation with reason and critical thinking about 'new generation' Amiga offerings. You're deemed negative, a troll, a Debbie the downer. I get it. Or someone who is just nuttier than Chinese chicken salad.

I would guess in this case it would mean x1000 case, fully populated mobo, gfx card, memory, sound, OS4.x and the keyboard.

And nope.. I dont think you qualify as a troll for being skeptical about price tag or coming with constructive criticism.

I myself have doubts about this project as well and think the price is too steep for what you get. I hope at the same time they do succeed even though i have my doubts.

These aeon guys are crazy comparing the a1000 with this experiment to pump money from the users.

Pumping money? Do you have any idea how much it costs to produce such hardware on such small scale?? I highly doubt there is much profits to be made here at all.
The people who are investing in this project are risking a whole lot on the success of this project.
I think it is childish to call this a money pumping scheme.

Do you seriously think they are doing this just to take advantage out of potential customers?
