Way to go Acube! Great price for a quality & well supported system:pint:

330$ for 1998 speed hardware? Awesome!

So why don't you manufacture a new system from scratch that will run AmigaOS4.x for a better price ? And then provide great customer support and i'll bet you'll come to the conclusion that ACube are Amiga fans first and foremost and hopefully a little profit is gained to support the next model :-)

But then again it's easier to criticize from your arm chair eh

The trouble is that much slower 1998 hardware, i.e. CSPPC and BPPC, often sells for far more than this.

Good to see the price drop lowering the cost of entry to those that are interested in running OS4.

Great point that comes up ever time OS4.x hardware is mentioned.
The cost of those old PPC cards for the classics keep going up due to the demand and the slowest Sam system will run much faster than the fastest PPC card.

Still shocks me the bidding wars on EBay for the PPC cards!

I was wondering the same thing about our friend Piru :-) odd they missed an OS4 related thread.

How is some Acube or A-eon hardware more nostalgic than Apple? To be honest I dont see difference. If you want nostalgia go buy real Commodore Amiga 500.

I know it is difficult to let old trademark go... ten years I bought Amiga gear (games, magazines, software, hardware...) to support Amiga companies and so on and finally I had to let it go. All that money wasted on CU Amiga or Amiga Format, poor quality Amiga games and what not. The Amiga is not coming back.

Simply put they were designed and made by Amiga users for Amiga users.
I still have my original A500 & A1200 and they unfortunately have been neglected ever since I got my old Samflex back in 2009.

You say supporting Amiga companies is a waste of time and I say it gives me great joy to know that my favourite OS is still alive today and being actively developed. When I use my X1000 and AspireOS on my netbook I get this feeling of resilient pride and my wife & friends tell me I always have a mischievous smirk on my face :-)

You say 'wasted money' but I say 'priceless';)

Maybe Acube are already working on their next generation.
