Have an upvote, but I didn't mean what old chips you can get off the shelf right now. I meant what you could build with a budget and a chip factory. There are so many Verilog and FPGA implementations of Amigas to start from. (Related note: the Draco "Amiga compatible" ran AmigaOS and "well behaved" programs, even though it didn't have the custom Amiga chips, just the m68k processor.)
The Amiga is in a such a sweet spot, because you can do all "modern" things like web browsing, developing with an IDE, play movies and music etc etc, while still being very simple and easy to understand.
IBM PC clones win on the "easy to understand" front but they are clearly from a previous era. Amigas are somewhere in between...
