How about a powerful LOW cost Amiga derivative. I'm with Steven on this. ARM boards cost under $200. Where's the NG OS for these?

A decently powerful(with all the drivers) low cost Amiga derivative can be bought from iMica(edit: AresOne is also very cheap).
But if you do not like x86, AROS ARM port is also underway.

People complaining about high prices on the amiga-market is just pathetic. It's just a hobby market so there's not much to do about it. Buy whats available if you're intrested in Amiga, if you're not intrested  in Amiga go buy some cheap windows box

No, it's not pathetic... it's spot on the mark. I would love to buy a OS4 machine - for hobby. But how can I justify a 1000 euros Sam460(without even taking performance into account)? Let's not even go into the X1000 price domain...

A hobby OS should come on a hobby priced hardware. Not professional priced hardware.
