@guru-666:

Now the most positive scenario is that Hyperion had already ported OS4 over to this hardware before the court-case ;-). Afterall, I once read on the OS4 site of Hyperion that it would be easy to port the OS to other hardware (as long as you brought the bucks and the license).

$ 1498.00 ? They are out of their minds!!! How many people can really afford that? We are back in the same hole.

Remember that this is a full computer and not just a mobo or a accelerator. I have seen people pay out of their teeth just for a accelerator and this system is actually pretty modern even compared with x86 in my opinion.

I myself though would have a hard time affording this one yet and will probably end up buying the entry level providing that it actually ends up being released and runs OS4.

[Agafaster]

*if* this materialises into an actual product with OS4, and *if* its available at the same price in the UK (IE, £750 instead of £1500), then I'll buy one. Oh yes indeedy.

So now i guess i'll just wait and see...

me too - although its more like 800 snots in a direct exchange rate (rough) calculation...
if its for 900 quid (taking VAT into consideration etc) I'm up for it !

[TheMagicM]

does it come with pancakes?  :lol:

-edit-
Nevermind, confused it with HP PA-RISC.
Wikipedia educated me.

Who is going to write drivers for PCI Express gfxcards?

A couple people already have
these  in their AmigaOnes.

I can.

And I'm certainly far better off now than when I paid over US$3000 for my BAREBONESEscom/Quikpak A4000T plus goodies ($500 PicassoIV, $300 DelfinaPlus, etc) to put into it when I was a poor college student. I didn't buy a hard drive or other certain things as I transferred a lot out of my 2000 into the 4000T. For a high-end Amiga, this honestly doesn't sound that bad in comparison to historical high-end Amiga systems. I see it as half price of back then, and that's before thinking about inflation since then.

For people who have purchased new (not used) big-box Amigas in the past, how much did you pay?

[redrumloa]

LOL!!! :roflmao:

[shillard]

Real soon now guys, just two more weeks!!!!!


Seriously - any sap who believes this stuff will actually materialise hasn't been taking their medication.

It only works if you take it EVERY DAY, boys....

[itix]

So... if this is a complete design, what kind of keyboards they are going to deliver to Europe?

[Piru]

@billt

It doesn't answer the question, however.



Anyhow, just grabbed ASUS P5B-E, Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo E6320, 2 x 1GB PC2-6400, passively cooled NVIDIA 7600 GT, 320GB SATA2 HDD, DVD+RW + stuff for around 600 eur. Running at 2.8GHz (those core2 chips overclock like mad :-)) this rig will take care of my dualcore needs for a while...
