The New Commodores

[TheGreatSatan]

Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883233001) has the new Commodore's. Ugly cases.

Its like a throwback case.

[Drum Thumper]

Its like a throwback case.

I disagree. If it was completely beige and had a working turbo button, then it would be a throwback. That thing is fugly.

That thin is ugly as hell. And they call it a gaming case with only a 2.5ghz processor and a 9600. Wow

That's a 2.5 C2Q, which certainly isn't anything to sneeze at. The video card could stand an upgrade at that price, though... either that, or give us an upgrade from the onboard sound.

Anyway, new Commodores... right...

Thats weird, I haven't even heard of the new Commodores (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=50012437%2040000010&Manufactory=12437&SubCategory=10&SpeTabStoreType=0) before. Cool. Is that the actual case I'm looking at or is it just the box it comes in? I like the 8-Bit side, but I don't really like the other side. As for the price...

Its not that bad. Although the one I created is probably better. I'm not sure about the motherboard, but I bet the system memory and power supply are way better than the commodores. But if I really wanted, I could spend a little extra and get the Asus Rampage (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284) instead and then it would be undoubtedly better and only for about a hundred dollars extra.

I didn't put that list together while looking for the best parts by the way, I'm sure you could build a better rig for around that same price, but I just tried to copy what they had for the most part, except I probably have higher quality components than their stuff. (like the PSU and RAM for example)

So anyways, the price isn't too bad, its about right actually. So long as they are using decent quality parts inside their rigs I mean. If they are using some weird cheap parts like what you get from most name brand companies, then its priced a couple hundred too high.

Anyone who blows almost $300 on a mobo is retarded.

LOL, I am looking at a Asus Crosshair II Formula I have sitting right next to me and I have to agree with you.
I am waiting for Biostar to send my N750 back (paid $100 OpenBox at Newegg) For 1/3 the price it was a much better value.

I miss my Vic-20 and Com 64. (lol, I just realized I paid about $1500 for them and the peripherals back around '81)

[progbuddy]

I blew a total of 89.95 for my mobo. Great overclocker. MSI K9N2G. I'm lovin it, although it's not Intel.

[XcOM]

i would love a blackops but there miles too expencive for what they do, at £300 ($550) its just not worth it.

[FuzzyPlushroom]

My Leadtek board (in specs) was $45 after MIR. It's got a fair number of OCing options and SLI support (though they put the slots too damn close together). Hey, works for me.

[phen0m]

I want a commodore 64, I think I'll get one off ebay next summer.

They are actually just case skins.
You can choose from a wide variety of case skins.

I was excited to see the thread, then dissapointed that you were talking about computers.

If I remember the press release, the attraction is supposed be the hand-painted case. If memory serves...that's where your money is going. They may look mass-produced, but it's pained by hand! Identically! Pointless.

There is only one true color scheme.
