OOOOOOO….what could THIS be

Imagine how Apple fans would feel is some cheap Asian OEM started putting out "Macs" in replica cases running Windows 7 or Ubuntu, they'd be foaming at the mouth and find it a huge insult.

I got news for you, C=USA is not using low quality hardware.  I guess you don't remember the screaming about OS-X or going Intel coming from the macheads?  I mean it's BSD with Mac OS theme then the eeeeeevil Intel hardware!  Hell, the macheads were going to load up on the one true PPC macs and use them till hell froze over.  Or don't you remember that all?

Putting the Amiga brand on this cheap tat is not innovative

Cheap as in affordable hardware or cheap as in low quality?  Yes, it's going to be affordable hardware and not some sky high PPC pricing.  If you are saying it's low quality hardware, back up that claim.  We do not know exactly which specific CPUs nor what the new OS will be based on for the new Commodore Amigas.

does not represent anything the Amiga was famous for, and just proves to cheapen the name, ruin the legacy and hurt people who were touched and had their lives changed by this unique machine, by reducing the Amiga legacy to, basically a badge on a PC-clone (which was a machine we all hated back then).

Could be far worse, he could have chosen a dodgy PPC mobo from a OEM that was about to go out of business leaving everyone high and dry.  See, could have been a far far worse!

Ok but installing Linux on it with red color and an Amiga desktoppicture and UAE and it would have been on half the way to be accepted by you, right

For the Commodore Amiga series, I really don't know what OS is going to be the base for it.  I have FC14 installed on two systems, I don't need another Linux distro, TBH.  OTOH, had GW done the Neutrino or Linux Kernel as the base for WB4, I would have been VERY happy.  I was apart of the Phinixi (as a beta tester) and was receiving QNX 6 updates in the mail from QSSL, and I was very impressed in what I used.

Is it going to be better quality than the PC I already have for an equivalent price?

Somehow, I strongly doubt it.

I will have to consult my Magic 8 Ball since I have no idea on what you are using or if it's home built vs factory built.   I know who he is having the work done in China, he is a very lucky man with many deep connections.  To give you an example of the quality Barry is expecting, he is a solid Apple guy.  Take that as you will.
