X1000 - what do you think of this

Just wondering what people think about this:

I guess since none of the onboard hardware is supported there has to be a card for everything. Kind of weird for a system that comes in a huge case with 8 drives bays, but there it is. Also, no tinkering - I thought part of the "Amiga spirit" was tinkering, but then again this is an AmigaOne. I dunno, for $3K just doesn't seem like that great a deal.

You are overreacting. Having X1000 presale (First Encouters) with OS 4.1.5 has to have some glitches like RadeonHD driver with no 3D (same is with SAM 460 owners). On SAM 460 also PCI slots are valuable and on X1000 First Encouters, yes they are populated.

X1000 final edition in software terms - one to be shipped with OS 4.2 will solve both problems by bringing 3D RadeonHD driver (9250 is snail to any HD Radeon) and drivers for onboard sound and SATA2

Given the amount of people who are constantly waiting for Hyperion to do anything wrong so they can kick up a fuss, can you blame them for covering themselves like this?

Just about any computer company would say the same thing - "please don't fiddle with our systems, but if you do you're on your own".

I think they didn't say anything unusual for a company.

Don`t see why so much controversy. If owner is willing to open the case (and loose the guaranty like everywhere), remove Radeon HD and one PCI card and put Radeon 9250 it will work. But he has been properly warned.
