X1000 - what do you think of this

[jorkany]

Just wondering what people think about this:

I would'nt recommond installing a second gfx card, as there are no spare slots.
You would have to loose either sound or network.

Besides, would rather the systems are not messed with. As this could cause damage or other problems.
The system is sent as a complete system.

I guess since none of the onboard hardware is supported there has to be a card for everything. Kind of weird for a system that comes in a huge case with 8 drives bays, but there it is. Also, no tinkering - I thought part of the "Amiga spirit" was tinkering, but then again this is an AmigaOne. I dunno, for $3K just doesn't seem like that great a deal.

First thought that came into my head was "jorkany got far to much time on his hands looking at a support forum for hardware he not got and not interested and needs another hobby, "

That's why it's called BETATESTER/EarlyBird/FirstEncounters version. Onboard components does not yet have full support.

If you want to speculate about why those components still don't have support after 2+ years of development, please start another thread. This thread is for discussion on why a computer claimed to be "teh NEW Amiga!" doesn't support the time-honored Amiga tradition of tinkering.
