First pictures of purpose designed high-end tower for the AmigaOne "[..] So as well as impressing existing Amiga users we also expect the AmigaOne to produce some real head-turning and jaw-dropping amongst the Windows-using fraternity. [..]" If the preliminary pictures are anything to go by, then the side view certainly looks nice, but why would anyone put the CD-ROM drives at the bottom of a tower and have four external 3.5" bays but only three 5.25" ones? Please discuss. Update: This seems to be the tower from which Eyetech's version is derived. And at 535€, it isn't exactly cheap.

Solar (BAUD) wrote: PPC vs x86, Intel vs AMD, believe me folks I´d like to see PPC rule the market, but this looks like x86 is here to stay. I think it´s interesting to see what will be tomorrow, even if it has little to do with Amiga today. Yes, I know that GHz isn´t everything, but that´s a lot of GHz to make up for with superior (?) architecture... Read More

"Paco de los palotes" wrote: hi, it looks like they are trying to fix some minor graphic inconsistencies with amiga.com's web site. Look for example at the javascripted words on the left (i.e. News, executive update, press releases, company, products....) They all look the same now. At last. I hope they are going to fix that ugly red border now. It's a punch in my eye everytime i get on that website and a week later I still have the bright and painful image of those monstrosities burned into my retina...

m0ns00n wrote: I found a page with a PPC motherboard that will fit the zico specs I think. It even mentions AmigaOS. I think it is odd myself, but even though Amiga Inc. is presenting the AmigaONE as the only near alternative, perhaps also presenting the bPlan one, they haven't mentioned the myriad of other PPC mainboards out there. What will they do? Read More
