*What type of reliable bourd should I get?

Whatever they give you.  Since the AmigaOne is no longer available (chipset manufacturer went bankrupt, among other issues), there isn't a single OS4 board currently available for purchase.

*How much will I expect to pay?

Only custom hardware runs are likely, so a minimum of $600 for a raw motherboard and CPU... probably more.  These are not common PC boards with off-the-shelf parts, so they are costly.  The discontinued AmigaOne was about $800, and required expensive registered memory.

*Where from?

Thin air.

*Will OS4.0 be a seperate thing?

The powers that be don't want the hardware and OS sold seperatly due to piracy concerns.  Nobody knows how upgrades are going to happen, either.
