If I were you I would wait until OS4 is released in public for the A1 board. Because after all, that is what you are looking for (a new Amiga) right? Sure you can use Linux in the meantime, especially if you are somewhat of a Linux Expert (it might take some tinkering on a low level, which is not necessary on most of the "beginner friendly" x86 distros), but Linux is not the main point with the board. If you are really looking for a Linux machine (and if you are new to Linux) then a x86 mobo is better suited; better price, better performance, some drivers and some of the more interesting software comes in precompiled x86 binaries only. We have seen many testemonies of A1 customers who just put their board in a closet while waiting for OS4. So my advice to you is to wait. The non-legacy-hardware version of OS4 is still (at least) half a year away. The price can only go down from here and who knows, better hardware might pop up in the meantime?

@ lempkee

You should buy itnow if you have the money , like i did some months back

But what if the price drops drasticly in the coming 6+ months? What if there will be a new and better A1 by the time OS4 is usable on the A1, like a micro-ATX DDR based motherboard with a faster and cooler G4, priced at say €499 or better? Do you still think that your recommendation is sensible? Will you really loose anything at all by "wait and see"?

With that kind of resoning you will end up dying before you buy anything. There will always be something better and/or cheaper if you wait.

So my answer to your question would be, Yes you could loose your life :-P

Well, but since you will have to wait anyway ...
