IIRC, also C=USA is selling some "Amiga" for about 3000USD.
But that is a 400USD x86 PC that is branded and sold for hefty price tag.
x1000 is expensive but it at least is slightly different than the standard and runs PPC OSs.
(also for me x1000 is too pricey... time will tell if I one day upgrade to SAM460. For A-Eon next mid range product it would seem they plan to use quadcore e500mc based chip @ 1.5Ghz while also considering 2+Ghz e5500 based options (x1000 successor) but no new mortherboard during next year from A-Eon is the official info (kind of).)
