Wow! Lots of replies here!
I read through the thread earlier and there was a few comments about "it's not really worth it" and I would like to address that.
When you go off the track of common garden variety products then the price reflects low availability and bespoke/uniqueness of the vehicle. I recently paid £6000 for a car just 2 years younger than my original Amiga 1000. I decided to call that car Christine because nobody in my family could understand why I would buy a 1988 tail happy RWD car with a ridiculously large engine (about the size of a Ford Escort) and excessive over engineered etc. However to me it is the only car that does what it does and I'd rather be soaked in petrol and set fire to than drive some crap 'modern' euro box with no character and just well as pleasant as a motorway service station dinner.
It's the same with the x1000. I felt the need to have a machine to run OS4. It doesn't have to play 1080p video (I can live with a PC + Zoomplayer + Vistacodecpack). In fact all it has to do is pretty much just switch on and run OS4 programs. If I can one day use it to run my basic web pages I design (nothing more modern than HTML of 2001) and NOT GET VIRUSED TO DEATH ON A DAILY BASIS then it serves its purpose.
So you see, for me value is a relative thing and that's all I can say. I didn't get the original AmigaONE last decade and regret it, as the x1000s are still around new today then it means I can actually experience buying a new computer that isn't Windows or Mac. I didn't want cup holders in my car or an engine that turns off at the traffic lights or tries to steer and power the same axle on the car and I had to pay through the nose for a very very old car....but then it is unique and well it will not be as annoying as a 'modern car'. Same difference with the x1000 vs latest PC %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!box. Speaking of PCs....isn't anyone else getting pissed off that the i7 is NOT going down in price even after all these years...AMD COME BACK, WE NEED YOU TO JAM A STICK UP INTEL'S ASS TO KEEP PRICES LOW!
So that will be an extra comfy straight jacket and one x1000 for Xmas please Santa 
PS The MOS comments, I don't have a problem with MOS at all but a MOS Mac and an x1000 are completely different machines to me and neither affects the purchase of the other, if need be I would have both. If MOS for Mac G5 is finished I will purchase a licence for that too and a G5 Mac to run it on but not before G5 distro is released.
The last two releases of MorphOS have supported G5's.
The 2.7GHz Dual Processor model wipes the floor with the X1000.
