Of course, you can always take the money out of your investments and get the following kit:
Sam440ep board with 512 MB DDR Ram, ATI Radeon M9 64MB and Audio 5.1 onboard, SATA DVD-RW, SATA 80 Gb Hard Disk, Logitech Optical Mouse + Psile case (Black or White)
For a extremely cheap price of 771,00 euro, or more than U$ 1.000.
- "The A500 was released in mid 1987 at the price of 595.95 USD without monitor."
- "The A1000, or Commodore Amiga 1000, was Commodore's initial Amiga personal computer, introduced on July 24, 1985 at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Machines began shipping in September with a base configuration of 256KB of RAM at the retail price of US$1,295. A 13-inch analog RGB monitor was available for around US$300 bringing the price of a complete Amiga system to $1,595."
So... it's almost U$ 300 cheaper than a new A100 at the time of it's launch.
And, just U$ 100 more expensive than the new Gateway® FX541S (

-Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor1 Q6600 (2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB cache)
-3072MB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2-1024 & 2-512)6
-500GB 7200rpm Serial ATA II/300 hard drive w/ 16MB cache4
-NVIDIA® GeForce 8600GT 512MB DDR3 Graphics w/ 2xDVI
That U$100 difference should, OF COURSE, all be attributed to Scale... obviously...
