A-eon took several thousand dollars in preorders over six months ago and still haven’t delivered. Looks like the X1000 may be a scam.

Prices of certain items of second hand “classic” Amiga hardware have skyrocketed lately but are still selling. Previous PowerPC based next-gen Amiga systems can be had new for £700 but are a little buggy (I’m told) and much less powerful than the X1000. So, surprising as it seems, £1,500 for a brand new system (and it’s a whole computer, not just an accelerator board or something) isn’t entirely out of the ballpark.

It’s still expensive though, but the hardware design is adaptable and if the X1000 is something of a success a cut down and cheaper “X500″ is a possibility.

Kind of puts it out of the range of all but the most dedicated hobbyists…

Yes, seriously. Trevor said that himself at lunch and also in a couple of interviews he's done recently.

£1,500? Seriously?

Bit steep….
