This cost can be brought even lower if we find some who are former Amiga users and do it as a labour of love, similar to the way the developers of the MorphOS team are not paid the "true price".
A have some suspenses about this:
1: Starting as a hobby project? This doesn't sound soo much well...
Many project went to the trash, because of the lack of interest/toughness anymore.
Not mention the time, what the development needs. Colud take years to have a single mainboard... I bet, it will be outdated, when it appears.
2: There should be at least two version of this machine: a portable (notebook) and a desktop. I think it is not feasible at all. At the other league, there isn't any notebook at all until today, altough they were working on it.
3: The machines should be cheap (or at least comparable priced to the another machines). Who want to pay for a similarly powered machine 4x-5x more? This is the case with A-EON computers now...
4: Also should be easily serviceable, ROHS compliant (for EU users)...
I think, a well supported Intel/ARM machine from a reliable company isn't soo huge compromise, compared to the mentioned problems.
