AmigaOS 4XX - MorphOS etc

[techlord]

I was born around '75, and grew up in the microComputer scene...However, I never had the money for an AMIGA, but always drooled over them when I was growing up..so suffice to say, I'm new to the CURRENT amiga scene, but have been reading...so go easy on me.  I have investigated several options:

1.  Buying a Mac Mini G4 1.42Ghz with a 1 GB ram, and putting morph OS on it

2.  Buying a SAM440EX based board and building my own, and installing AmigaOS 4.1 (seems nice, but an expensive endever)  I thought I would install Morph OS first...but not sure if its the experiance I'm looking for.

One last point of note, I recently installed WinUAE, and did what I consider to be a RAW install of OS 3.9.  I'm doing that to bring myself up to speed on the OS.  So my questions are:

A.  Which route above do you think is the better one for the true amiga experiance (I know I'm going to have people telling me to buy an Amiga 1200, put an accelertor card in it, and go from there, but I', not sure I have the money for that.)  I loved the Dan Wood videos on youtube He has them all

B.  Don't lynch me on this one, if its been asked over and over again, I googled it, and couldn;t find the answer.  Can I run AmigaOS 4.0 or 4.1 CLASSIC on WinUAE?  I know I can run OS3.9, so I was wondering what the stretch was...

Thanks in adavance for helping a OLD newcomer out.

Thanks for all of your input.  I'm currently installing OS 3.9 on WinUAE, and I'll make my decision later now ha ha ha...I think I may still buy a cheap Mini Mac G4, and then see how I like morphOS.

Thanks for your words of wisdom and encouragement AmigaDave and others, (I like the powermac idea as well, I was thinking about this too).  
I'm pretty excited about the prospect of the X1000 and It indeed would be nice to find an AmigaOS4.XX user running the OS on a modern sam board or the likes, but Alas, I live in a Northern community in Canada, and not many people up here, even recognize the word Amiga anymore  

I wish there was a club  close to where I live.  I have seen some other Canadians around the forums, but have no idea where they are, I am guessing a larger city...but who knows...maybe I'll run into someone not too far away.  One last note, AmigaDave, the word obsession for me is an understatement, and if I get really obsessed with this endeavor,  it's not outside of the realm of possibility that I will end up with Classic, and current hardware  Although, my wife may never forgive me
