For those wanting a more Amiga like retro solution, go for X1000 or Sam4x0, or possibly a x86 Amiga with AROS, iMica, AresOne...

Just out of curiosity (and forgetting for a moment your cheap shot to AOS4 which you don't even know) but what does make you consider AROS/iMica/Ares more "retro" than CUSA's offering?

I have to say I don't have any understanding of why someone would want to buy a generic PC that just has some name (e.g. Commodore or Amiga) stuck to it. If that's the case then buy a generic PC & make your own label to stick on it. The result will be exactly the same!

Like I said, if it's nicely done and nicely designed and I can be productive with it, I'll buy a branded PC, no matter the name. Hence, going by that logic, I'll buy a PC branded Commodore or Amiga. Like I said many times, I'm no hard-core amigan.

Your answer doesn't make sense to me (and also doesn't fit with your comments elsewhere) :

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of brands, and thousands (if not tens of thousands) of branded PC models. The chances of you buying a Commodore/Amiga branded one *just* because of it being branded is so close to zero as makes no difference. So either you are buying a Commodore/Amiga branded generic PC because of the name, or you not buying one at all.

In which case, I point you back to what I originally said about putting a Commodore/Amiga label on a generic PC (it can be a real genuine branded PC like Dell or Acer if you like).
