I guess it depends on what exactly you want to do with them. If you just want to play games then an emulator is a reasonable option. They lack a certain charm of "the real thing", but have thier own advantages (literally dozens to hundreds of times faster than the absolute best amiga you can get if running on x86 hardware (on ppc its much, much slower, more due to codepaths than raw speed of the host hardware), retargetable sound and gfx, much cheaper, ironically also more compatible, etc.). If price is a concern and you just want to tinker and play games then that's probably the way I'd go, but seeing as you already have some physical amiga gear it's not as clear cut.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I quite like the bunny. It's a lot less creepy than the creepy "pee time", or whatever it was girl :-) (cant for the life of me remember who's avatar that was/is though).
In fact given time I might feel inspired to make myself an avatar later today. Im not a fan of the rendered avatar's doing the rounds on AO at the moment, but if I can make a creepy cute thing to compliment Franko's bunny then maybe together we can start a revolution!! (ok, I admit, I got a bit excitable there, but dagnamit, I wanna see more creepy cute things).
