all this hardware is old and used without any sort of warranty..

Who cares if it is dirt cheap? One fails, you buy another. On the other hand, this hardware is of high quality and risk of failure is low.


Lets see what happens when the PA6T has to be replaced.

BTW, I do not bad mouth Acube. They seem to be a real company with real product and real warranty, something that cannot be said of some previous "Amiga" hardware vendors. I simply have no use or desire for their product.


Ditto, ACube is one of the few "Amiga" supporting companies I can honestly recommend to others as they are dependable and trust worthy.  I was considering buying a 460 for a project, but that project got preempted.

Because running G5 Mac is damn expensive power consumption experience. If you don't use MorphOS a lot, you will not be afraid to have it running and mostly idling on G5 power (consumption) station.


Oh, lets play the power game. A1X1K takes how much power on the average in a 24 hour period?  G5 for the same.  take the difference times what the average power company is charging @ watt hour and find where the total cost point is.  I expect it to be close to if not exceeding a decade.

Quite honestly, the smartest move MorphOS ever did was base their dev on the hardline HW guidelines Apple did.
I'd like to think they did that deliberately, but I don't know much about the project.   Avoids the gongshow AROS has with SATA/gfx cards not working, etc.

That can be easily avoided if you read what is and what is not supported by AROS OR buy one of the two AROS systems that are up for sale if you don't mind new hardware.
