I respect what they're doing with this machine, but I won't be buying one because I don't have that type of discretionary income. Who seriously plans to buy one soon after it's available? Anyone here?
Unless the production unit costs a lot less than the beta board alone, I am going to have to say no. I am willing to buy a new pre-built computer to run AmigaOS but I can't justify $2500-$3000 for it. I haven't spent that much on the 3 modern computers in my house right now.
I certainly expect a mark up because the market is small and the hardware is custom. Unlike the markup on other niche platform vendors, that use all industry standard parts. However, it's simply too much for me to afford.
