"I also don't understand the deal with Amiga and its obsession with the powerpc cpu. It much more expensive then a x86 cpu."
The biggest problem here, is that all current amiga software exist in either 68k or ppc, so if you ported it to x86, you would not be able to use any existing software! You would have a OS that you cannot run anything on... The ppc cpu is also faster than x86 cpu per mhz and also consume way less power and runs very cold compared to x86 cpus..
There is actually someone who do what you ask.. www.aros.org <---- is virtually a port of amigaos that runs on any x86 pcs.. It has sadly virtually no appz/games avaliable, so you cannot do much with it..
