I'd be in for an assembled one for 40 quid.

Ditto, small is beautiful, who needs a big case?  The smallest case possible please.

12 x 12 would be ideal, all it really needs is about 6 USB ports and a video port or some kind, composite would be nice, then yo could plug it into an iPod like device (Cowon, Archos) hookup a projected keyboard and you could carry the whole thing in an winter jacket pocket!

No this is a complete reproduction of a 500 in a 12 x 12 cm board.  Custom graphics chips are emulated, it eliminates the need for old electronics which is becoming scarcer and more expensive.  There is no need for Zorro slots, anything you would put in them would be better done through USB.

No Zorro slots, it's a stupid move in the extreme, you are tied to pricey old hardware for a new machine, just put PCI slots.  

PCI = simple, available, cheap.
Zorro = Old, limited suppliers, expensive.

YES!!!!

USB and PCI, finally reasonable priced hardware!  Use the AROS USB stack and the AROS PCI controller, it's all there, Amiga reborn for the 21st Century!

Is it possible to use bluetooth with Minimig?  It would be nice to have a keyboard and joystick without the wires...

I have bluetooth keyboards on all my computers, I hate cords, they serve no useful purpose unless you want to strangle a cat.

PS2 ports are a waste, just have USB ports then you can use them for anything.

How about a case that looks like a scaled down Amiga case so it fits a 13x13 board?
