the pros and cons of A1 versus PC

[Marky_D_Sahd]

(Might be the wrong forum... Moderator please check.)

I have everything for my new AmigaOne except the motherboard, but now I'm reconsidering.
I've seen PC motherboards at Fry's for under $100US.  I saw a whole emachines setup, with a 17in. monitor, speakers and printer for less than $600US at Costco today.

What will my $800 AmigaOne motherboard do that these won't?  Impressive graphics?  It's got the same video card as the others.  Stereo sound?  Same sound card.  Impressive graphics software?  Can't even get Photogenics for the Amiga any more.

Why, except for nostalgia, am I doing this?  I love the OS and hate M$ Winblows, but is the trade off worth it?  A hundred or so, maybe, but a SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR DIFFERENCE?

Somebody talk me back into this.  Developers please chime in.

No, no!  You were all supposed to talk me INTO buying the AOne!  What's the matter with you?

Actually, though, it begins to look really bleak.  I can't fork over that much dosh for a new and improved antique game machine.

I know that a few developers are still doing stuff for us, mostly Hyperion and..... Well, Hyperion!

Are there any commercial hardware (or software, at the risk of polluting this topic) developers working on wonderful things for the AOne?  Or are they waiting to start when sales reach a magic number?
