I went to a well known online Amiga shop and I saw that there is a 1Ghz G4 module for Pegasos. Can anyone inform me if that module really exists and if it is available please? (can I actually buy right now the system below?)

I would have thought that if this was available then we'd have heard from Gensei.  I'm afraid until you hear an offical release , don't trust what amiga dealers say.  Some have a habit of trying to sell products which aren't yet available. :-(

I've bought the following:

I-cute tower with 6 fans and 300W
G4 1 GHz, but for now a G3 600 MHz
40 GB 7200 rpm harddrive
512 MB registered RAM (thought Kingston)
ATI Radeon 9000 64 MB
CD-Rewriter 40/16/48
Floppy (I believe it doesn't work...yet)
Cherry cordless keyboard and mouse
Set of boxes (inbuild soundcard)
DVD-ROM

As you see I've got almost the same configuration as you want. :-D

I paid 1500 Euro's for it.

Did you buy it as a complete prebuilt system or did you buy it seperately?

BTW, I wonder if that will have a CPU fan? In that case I don't think I will be interested. I like silent computers and my Pegasos setup is extremely silent, virtually mute. And to be honest, the G3 @ 600MHz is more than enough for everything I do. It flies! If you are rendering/raytracing complex 3D animations (and such things) you will propably want as much CPU power as possible, but I really think that most "normal" people will be quite satisfied with the G3  thanks to the lean Amiga envireonment!

I'm actually quite dissapointed with how noisey my G4 eMac is compared to the old G3 iMacs.  Hopefully PPCs will get cooler again and won't need fans.

I agree on the MHz thing, with the exception of games (and raytracing, but that's hardly a common use for the average person) why do you need 3Ghz?  What can a 3GHz computer do, in real world everyday average use terms, that a 600MHz can't? (Aside from running Windows XP :-P)
