 Heh..... if I had the skills to do a Hobby Amiga ....  

 I would take an A1000 motherboard,  measure it,  and re-design an AGA (or even a simple ECS version) and try and somehow dual processor a pair of 060's right on the motherboard.   (I mean actually create a brand new mobo replacement that fits exactly in the A1000)

 Maybe even add PPC somehow.   This coldfire CPU is also interesting.  If you really want to do a hobby puter.  Add a 3rd different type of CPU to the mix like that and come up with some new "tWisTeD AmIGA"  in a 1000.

 Why a 1000 case?  Gotta have a keyboard garage babY!

 I'd redo the power supply, making it half the size, so I can install some sort of new harddrive tray on the left side to hold a 3.5 HD.   Intergrate a scan doubler,  add some DIMM sockets, hell maybe even figure out a way to put a video card right there on the motherboard which the AGA (or ECS) can pass thru on it's way to the scan doubler.
 
 Cut a hole in the plastic front panel big enough for one of those laptop CD drives.... plop down 2mb of chip ram mobo mem, 2 meg or so of video ram for whatever type of RTG system u add.  And Poof!  
 
 A twisted fantasy Amiga!

 Heh

 Of course it sounds easy dreaming about it ;)
