It is almost worth buying one and sending it to Doomy.

Almost.

Only 6, so 194,000 to go!  Wonder if they have mold #2 in production yet.

I did not that in one of the videos, the guy shows the fan and mentions that it has been running constantly. Also, remarks that the computer runs a bit hot.


Look at where the fan is and look at where the air vents in the case are. I bet 90% of what the fan is doing is sucking cool air in from the bottom vents and blowing it right out the back. There is no way any of the airflow is getting anywhere near anything that is actually getting hot.

On second thoughts i'm not really impressed with your "C64". It's just not the same as an authentic C64X. I want the real thing not just some cheap copy god damn it. It has to be an official machine from CUSA otherwise i won't use it   :roflmao:

Just an update on my new c64. Been playing for a few hours now and now problems detected. No sign of over heating or faults with the keyboard ;)

Wow, yeah. That's...it's not even pointing in the direction of the board! Granted, Atom hardware isn't going to run blazing hot like heavier-duty stuff, but that's still a pretty gross oversight.

No, because it's stupid.

It's being marketed as the "new" C64, which it isn't.  The box even says "Commodore 64".  It's a PC, just like very other PC in this world.  It runs Windows and Linux.  The only thing different about the C64x is the casing, which I couldn't give a fuck about.

So what is Amiga.org turning into, a case mod forum?  A place where we discuss the appearance of PCs?

In that case, I'm leaving this site for good.

@skurk

chlamb isn't a member - don't let the occasional C=USA fanboy ruin the experience on the website. I agree though, C64x has no place on this forum (unless we're a PC forum now).

I do wonder though if he's actually C=USA staff using a different name....
