Actually Kay, by the time you get the CPU on there (especially if your buying Intel) you're going to have more than just $100.
*I'll* pay the extra $$$. At least *I'll* own my AmigaOne, unlike the PC, which Bill Gates is positioning himself to do right now, and nobody with any authority will try to stop him. Bill can have admin/root priviledges on my box when he can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
:-D
Also, think of it as 3 computers in one. AmigaOS/linux/Mac-on-linux is a pretty large software base, when you think about it. Also, the electricity you save over a few years will pay for the extra $$ you spent buying a PPC board.
