First Contact : AmigaOne X1000 Limited Edition

...meanwhile if you buy it... and want to have networking and sound... you need to spend some more cash... Just like if it wasn't enough expense already..

You can pick up a realtek 8139 or 8029 PCI nic for a few dollars at most flea markets, used computer shops. Same with PCI sound cards. Not a big deal IMHO.
 
Ok, you will have to wait a bit until the on-board drivers are finished, but at least you can get your machine sooner rather than later then just take the PCI cards out when the drivers get released... but yes, I'd rather wait to get a fully functional machine and probably a slightly better price
 
Or just wait and purchase your system later.

Well, the point is.. you would spend over US$2,600 for the X1000 at least and that cannot get you any audio nor networking capabilities on it ... whether is lack of drivers (or updated drivers) or whatever, it's a total shame...
 
I'm wondering if there's an option not to buy the huge case and extras for overseas buyers to save on import fees+shipping... didn't anyone at Hyperion mention that possibility?
 
Cheers,
