I think mimicking apple to some degree and having hardware specific to the system will be a good strategy, but also keeping the ability to install AROS on any computer. AROS so far has worked on my Compaq with an AMD and Nvidia graphics, my compaq with an Intel Pentium with ATI graphics, and my iMac/Macbook with Intel and ATI/Nvidia graphics cards. it is most buggy on the AMD/Nvidia system though. Old mix-matched hardware I think.
I will be building an aros machine so far i have an a1200 keyboard i need the Keyrah Amiga adapter to convert it to usb and i have an a500 plus case coming i have a laptop dvd drive and intend to use the following motherboard Intel D945GSEJT Mini ITX Motherboard 1.6GHz ATOM 12V .the plan is an all in one amiga 500 looking aros machine .
There is no external record connector but there is an HDAudio port on the board, so when I decide to make the expansion board, I can add this. It could be easily added though.

It is just a step on the road to a machine worthy of Amiga name, long way to go though.

This is absolutely amazing!!! I never thought I would see a true potential resurrection of Amiga. The system looks aesthetically beautiful.

Thanks, not really what I would call an Amiga yet but in time I hope we can build an x86 machine deserving of the name Amiga.

Don't recognise the case - whose is iot? I recognise the mobo from the backplane - single core Atom then? Looks fab!

Looks nice, but ... no input audio connector?
