$1895 (1200€) wouldn't be much expensive if AmigaOS/MorphOS really ran on it.
Paying that price only to use a fraction of the hardware *is* kind of expensive IMHO. A waste! As would it be to spend the time and money to make "our" OS's running on it in the first place, and that's why this will never happen. Mac Mini is a much better choice then, if you want to have a go on "outsider" hardware...

Compare it to uA1/A1 prices (just otherboards).
Why? A1 prices where absolutely ridiculous, even back then (especially so if you look at what you actually got)!

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more!

MorphOS is Amiga done right!

Actually quite nice setup. Dunno about Hyeprion and OS4 though, with the legal issues it seems more likely that one would be able to draw blood from a stone or create gold out of dog poop.
Nothing's stopping them from reselling it pre-configured with a fully functional AROS port...

Infact, nothing is stopping them from porting their games to AROS(PPC) either...and selling that...

That seems to be a better way to continue a revenue stream...

On AmigaOS multiple cores are useless.

For AmigaOS I could live with a single core anyway. Just bloated OSes like OSX require multiple cores to multitask smoothly.
Hopes are on the MPC8610 - Low wattage single core G4 with surprising high performance and reasonable price tag.

I'm under the impression that there is no hardware that is *new* and currently under manufacture which can run OS 4. Maybe I'm wrong...
There isn't. And this machine doesn't change that.
