Well the tower is supposed to list for ~7,500.  It will have two
separate scsi ports, built in ethernet, DMA, subsystems, 1meg rom, and
built in accelerated 24-bit graphics (up to a 16" monitor for 24-bit,
21" monitor for 8bit), plus a whole slew of other stuff that I'm sure
your don't care to hear about.  The point is that I would not call
that much hardware for 7.5K far far up from the Amiga line. More
expensive perhaps but not way out of line.  Note that the desktop 040
version will probably be considerably less.  Disclaimer: Figures are
taken from MacLeak and my memory. (Which has known to fail)
