Haven't you guys heard about the latest technology, where you can print out fully functional motherboards on your inkjet printer?  Get with the times.  Only AmigaOne makes it possible.

Did someone say Only Amiga?

:D :D :D
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Or at least it might have been until the real systems were shown at the VCF.


I think your going off half cocked on this one.   FWIR, no one on this thread has said there are no A1X1K's mobos.  We all have see and heard the reviews from Trevor's public showing,  we know there is a real mobo that work, at least to some degree.  Issue with the photo put into a computer case is reasonable and just.  It was poor judgement, it cheapens the A1X1K into nearly joke status.  If anything, you should be taking issue with whomever put this on display and not us here on AO who are commenting on it.  

So after the disaster of a Photoshop'd A1X1K mobo in a case, it's highly believable that someone, perhaps from Hyperion, would have put this display together.

Whoever made the card mock up isn't the making unqualified comments here or veering off into realms of fantasy, I'm sure it was slightly amusing for show attendees.

Like I said it might have been for a short period of time, but not now.  The joke came a little too late.

Weren't you the one saying earlier this year that Hyperion were going to branch OS4 and the X1000 would run a 64-bit version that would be incompatible with the existing OS4.

Aren't you the one currently trying to invent some sort animosity between OS4 users/fans and Natami.

what an a-- backwards place for the power supply.. It won't do much good at getting the heat out of the case.....


and all the dust will fall to the bottom, lets shut this case and have it run 24/7 for a year without opening the case... if it havent stoped working or your house burnt down its a miracle. it is idiotic to place the power supply in the bottom of the case, period.

Many modern tower cases now house the PSU at the bottom of the case (with a dust filter). It is not the PSU's task to remove heat from the tower, but that is the task of the exhaust fans/radiators. There's much logic in that.

Really.

The Corsair Obsidian,
for example.

Or the Fractal Design R2.

(or perhaps, I'm just missing all the 'witty sarcasm' in this thread). :)

What, you mean like the CoolerMaster Cosmos-S case, where the PSU is at the bottom, pulling cold air through a dust filter, venting it out the back and not at all exposed to dust from inside the case itself?

see here

I doubt that someone did it as a gag, looks like too much effort went into it.

I seriously doubt anyone that would be making a joke about it would go to that much trouble.  There are already too much to joke about it let alone making a prop for S&Gs.

I was indeed sadly incorrect after reading Hyperion's release statements which they were trumpeting it was a 64 bit CPU.  That would have been the best thing possible for OS4 to go 64 bit and make a hard break from 3.1 API so they could use SMP on a 64bit dual core machine.  That might have made OS4 into something that even I would have looked at possibly using as primary OS.  Instead, we get a port of something old that will be AMP at best.  What a shame.

Shame on me for pointing out that Natami project, if they able to release a product before or around the same time A1X1K's release will be a competitor for scarce Amiga buyer's money.  I've heard some estimates Natami will be price in the same level as the A1X1K.  If it's cheaper, so much the better for most of us but that will make it a even bigger competitor to the A1X1K's market.   Natami is not good news for A-EON/Hyperion's marketing plans.  Given cheap Macs, cheap Imicas, cheap ARESOne, Minimig, plus C= Amigas and Natami to be released, it's alot of choices which doesn't mean good times ahead for the most expensive option of the bunch.  I can't help to think it's going to polarize the fragmented Amiga community even more.  If it bothers you I'm voicing my opinion, so sad for you.

AmigaOne X1000
Looking good on paper



Just think how energy efficient it will be tho.  I just hope the refresh rate on the etch-a-sketch screen will be decent. :D

Well not really, they have provided all of us with fake photos of the thing.

Mock-ups and concept art are only really "fake" if they're the stuff of pure fantasy.  I was impressed by how closely the finished X1000 case resembled the original photoshopped image - even down to the positioning and appearance of the engraved boing ball on the front.

I might be wrong here, but I believe it was actually the image they sent to the manufacturer.  An image genuinely involved in the design and production of something is hardly a fake  :)

Quote from: Gulliver;584936
Have you seen the fake fascia with the boing ball on it? The actual fascia is black and flat, with no engravings whatsoever.

Perhaps you'd like to explain this curious optical illusion that was photographed in Switzerland in September then:



It's been known for ages that the AmigaOne X1000 case would just be a commercial available case with custom engraving.  It's no surprise that the X1000 was first seen in a plain, unadorned version of that case (I'm sure they had more important things to worry about at that stage).  There's enough genuine areas for discussion surrounding the X1000 project and its value without inventing unfounded points of criticism.

Anyway, think you should retract your claim that "The actual fascia is black and flat, with no engravings whatsoever"  ;)

That´s a nice photo. Weren´t the A-EON Boing balls the ones with less squares? Is it fan-art?

Okay, so as of september, it is not flat and has engravings, so what?
It still shows how unprofessional they were by marketing a product with a photoshopped image, and they did it when they didnt even have a real product.

By the way, the part on the front fascia where it says "AmigaOne X1000" still differs from the photoshop marketing one, Just take a look yourself. :)

It still shows they misslead all of us.

Unprofessional? Every big company uses exclusively photoshopped images for advertising. Woppers on the pictures are made from plastic.

Your reality check just bounced. ;)

But whats more interesting: Are there more pictures from that event in Switzerland? Is this the machine of a beta tester, or was A-EON present?

EDIT: Oh, I see it already was mentioned: on Amiga.org

They have a separate beta program for the cases?
