If somebody really has to purchase a computer with a $25,000 price tag, I imagine they will want to acquire it from a large multinational that offers support and warranty, not some obscure little computer company that will likely fade into oblivion as Commodore Gaming did before.

No, starting is about $2000 (AIO) which is cheaper then what is being offered in multi-core by A-EON.  If you go with bang:buck ratio against A-EON, it's not even close..

Once the X1000 is released I'm willing to bet if someone decided to sell theirs after say 2-4 years, it will retain much more of it's value than any Commodore branded PC released at the same time. I sold my AmigaOne XE last year for £650 on eBay, I imagine much higher spec PC's from 2005 selling on eBay for next to nothing today.

I think the X1000 will be more than sufficient for running AmigaOS and any applications likely to be available for it in the foreseeable future, and will likely hold much more of it's value when the time comes to upgrade, so in my eyes likely offers much better bang:buck ratio in the long term.
