Two MiniITX A1's models are on the way, both G3. The first one is very similar to the "beta" versions that was sold earlier. The price for this one will be $600USD/500EUR, excluding VAT. The other version will also offer some more features such as Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet and an additional (custom?) PCI connector, and will cost $700USD/600EUR.

Two new µ-A1's models on the way : Comment 15 of 170 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Lando on 28-Aug-2004 14:51 GMT | Damn... the "budget" A1 comes in at a whole £100 less than the A1-XE G3. £489 including VAT, when the A1-XE G3 is £588.
I would have actually bought one of these if they had kept it under £250...
Pegasos II G3-600 is £235 including VAT, so it's 2 and a bit times more expensive than that.
Why don't they let people buy their own CPU cooler and SODimm?
Why isn't there a "Profit" row in that price breakdown?
Why is the CPU module so expensive?
How much of the motherboard cost is the KMOS "name" licence?
How many do they actually think they're going to sell when they're 4 times more expensive than the equivalent mini-itx board in the x86 world and over 2 times more expensive than the PegII G3?
Why is OS4 purchase compulsory? 100EUR is too much. Every other Amiga sold in the history of Amigas has come with AmigaOS included free.
Anyway, as it stands this new board is dead before it's even out. Bye bye Eyetech. |
