Interesting, C64s was before my time. Didn't start using computers til 95 and didn't really mess with them til 98-99. But even then I've heard of a Commodore. Of course I had no clue what the hell they was I'm sure the name itself will help sell them.
A foolish man claims to know all, but a wise man accepts he doesn't.
Commodores brings back good memories. It was a good gaming computer for its time, and it will be interesting to see if they have anything to offer that others haven't already or if they will be just another gaming PC.
At my computer, cruising VDR and watching your back

My first pc was a Commodore 64. I had two floppy drives so I wouldn't have to keep changing disks so often.

Ya can't keep a good thing down! I have many fond memories of the Commodore 64. Look at screenshots of C64 games and compare them with today's graphics....we've come a loooonnnnngggg way is a relatively short time. It's amazing.
Desktop: Intel i7 960 CPU @ 4.0GHz, EVGA Classified 4-Way SLI mobo, 12GB Corsair Dominator-GT 2000 DDR3 RAM, Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB Solid State Drive, Two WD 2TB SATA drives, 2x EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked graphics cards in SLI, Coolermaster HAF X full tower case, OCZ ZX 1250w PSU, Corsair H100 CPU Cooler Laptop: MSI GT60-004US, 2x Seagate Momentus XT 750GB SSD Hybrid drives in RAID 0, 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM, GeForce 670M 3GB graphics card, Networks 'Killer' N-1103 WLAN card
I started out on a C64 too. I taught myself Assembler programming on it. Happy days I longed for an Amiga when it came out, but at the time I just couldn't afford one.
I'm telling you d/l the CCS64 emulator and Google C64 games for some sites to d/l them from and bring back those youthful days of playing Impossible Mission, Green Beret, Rambo, Yie Ar Kungfu, International Karate.
Yeah the graphics are average but hey what do you expect from games that are 20+ years old in most cases.
The high-end XX packs enough grunt to make an Alienware machine run to its deformed alien mum. It uses an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core processor, 4GB of RAM and two Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards running in tandem. The bottom G wimps out with an E6320 1.83GHz dual-core chip, 2GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS -- but even this is fast enough to run most games.
If the specs alone don't rock your world, just check out the gorgeous cases they come in. Commodore Gaming PCs are fitted with interchangeable 'C-Kin' panels so you can customise them to your heart's content. There are literally dozens of designs to choose from including the Classic Commodore Jupiter Lander and Louis Vuitton (both pictured).
