The Amiga X1000

This place stinks of the x86 architecture.
Discuss the pinnacle of computing technology, the Amiga (A-EON) X1000.

I think the Xena and Xorro are ground-breaking and will re-define high-end hobbyist computing... just like the A1000/A500 did in the '80s (compared to the GAY green-on-black monitors of IBM PCs...)

Now discuss!  What do you think of the X1000?

Holy crap, that's an interesting concept if I've ever seen one. It's about as close as using FPGAs for personal computers as we're likely to see for quite some time. I've been thinking of possibly gathering some FPGAs and making my own custom computer, but this would definitely take a LOT of the hassle out of that, while still allowing for some of the major bonuses you'd get from using FPGAs (namely, very fast interaction with events, and parallel execution) while still giving you a fairly normal OS to work with. How much is this going to cost?
