But you can drive similar comparisons of that same HP workstation with iMacs or $5000 Alienware machines, where if you buy the same pieces yourself, you can get the same specs at half the price (I could build up another godzillion comparisons) still they don't run AmigaOS do they?
This is a machine for AmigaOS those interested will buy it, those not interested will not (no need for apple to orange comparisons).
Talking about the price, it is not known yet, I saw much fuss done for a post made by user Tommo1975 but nobody cared for user djrikki who in the very same thread says he heard "less than €1500" and with all THAT CONFUSION where everybody is saying they couldn't clearly hear a thing, it's quite understandable.
Anyway, the X1000 is aimed at developers and power-users according to A-Eon, meaning they don't plan any mass market sales for now 
.
Trevor Dickinson, presenting at the first outing of the X1000, stated it would be north of 1500 pounds. That to me takes precedence over any forum posting. It would be safe to bet on the cost being over 1500 pounds.
It is a shame though. I know keeping it under $2k in Aus is a great price point to be in. This kicks it up well over that (our exchange rate sucks to the UK pound) approx $2556.
