Even putting aside the x86 debate, that's a whole lot of talking out of your ass. There's no case design, nostalgic or otherwise, going on here - they buy an existing Mac Mini knock-off and etch a name on it. Big freaking deal. Their "hardware and software combinations" are generic i3 and i7 setups that they can't even figure out the power requirements for (and that should probably never have seen the inside of an HTPC case to begin with,) slapped with a lightly-customized Mint and a bundle of a bundle of UAE. And the only sense in which any of this is "killer" is in relation to one's wallet.

RE: AMIGA AIO keyboard computer.
1. won't be replica. No plans for any more replica cases (at least for now, and in the foreseeable future)
2. it will be forum member rgmarett's idea of a new Amiga 500 replacement, only modified to allow for the hardware height requirements.
3. it will have a full qwerty kb, with numerics
3. looking at 1st or 2nd qtr 2012 time frame.'

Forgive me for intruding here, but aside from PowerPC and x86, there is one other thing...

Has anyone had a look at Amiga's archival Atari, and the Coldfire Project to revive the old ST/TT platforms? > http://acp.atari.org/

Because it seems they (ACP) got a much better 68k chipset around (using the Freescale Coldfire chip, a much faster and compatible variant of the old 68k chip. Do you think such a board/chip could be converted to run classic Amiga software? I mean the Coldfire project does have ISA and PCI connections at the back (to connect with PC parts) and with the advent of FPGAs anything could be possible. Maybe a joint Atari+Amiga legacy board project could be worked on?
