Commodore Gaming PC cases for sale!
« on: November 08, 2009, 09:53:36 PM »
Yes, the very same cases used by Commodore Gaming for their high-end gaming PCs.

Better used, in my opinion, for a Commodore/Amiga related project (my AmigaOne is in one and it's loving it.)

These are brand new, unusued, and still in the original plastic. (original Commodore boxes, too!)

Basics are: 4 5.25" drive bays and 2 3.5" drive bays (external access, and one has a USB/Firewire/Audio in/out panel,) 4 internal 3.5" bays, and the cases will take a standard ATX motherboard and power supply.

Fun part: two lighted fans, one large on the side and one smaller in the front of the case.  The lights are controllable via buttons on the front of the case (change the colors, or set them to cycle or even turn the lights off.)  With this fan setup, it stays quite cool in the case.  Also, the cases are lined with foam for noise reduction.  (I bet the front lights would look great in red with a white boing ball overlay applied...)

Price is $60USD plus shipping each, worldwide shipping available, don't want anyone to miss out.

Here are some pics:











..and there's also a video of the colors of the lights, demonstrating cycle mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBmfF7iu238

Definitely a fun case, for Commodore/Amiga use or otherwise.

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to PM or post.

Thanks!

Correct, it's basically a PC case.  Any ATX sized board should fit in and work nicely.

*takes a deep breath*

Shipping to the UK appears to be $95USD for one tower.

Denmark shipping seems to be the same as UK shipping.

An A4000 motherboard most likely wouldn't have holes in the ATX positions, but if you're handy with a drill you could add a few more holes to the case where you need them.  Definitely a bit of a project, and one I'd try myself if I had a 4000 with a bad case lying around.

It doesn't appear so.  If you have any leads on a good courier from the US to Europe, please let me know.

edit: seriously, the rates I'm seeing on the couriers here, it'd be cheaper for me to get on a plane and hand deliver them.

Case reserved, PayPal is fine.

If you PM me your address, I can verify the shipping costs tomorrow.  Crossing my fingers their website is accurate.

Man, USPS isn't doing any favors today...

Shipping to Australia looks like $125 for one, $225 for two in one package.

On the plus side, though, AUD and USD are almost even these days!

I believe USPS has discontinued all international surface mail, which is the cause of these shipping prices.

@Tone

How much for USA shipping to zip code 14215? UPS ground or USPS.


Looks like $25 via USPS for one unit.


edit: price up a bit due to a low weight estimate on my part.

Is there enough room to fit an A4000 mobo in one of these? They are a bit wider than most mobos. If so, how much for shipping to 61520 zip?


Unfortunately I can't be certain an A4000 motherboard would fit in this case, as I don't have one to test with.

What sort of price are we looking at for shipping to the UK (United Kingdom)?


As stated earlier in the thread, $95 shipping for one to the UK.

Is Commodore Gaming selling gaming PC's anymore?


It does appear they've stopped selling PCs.  My guess is their prices were just too high to sell many.

It isn't stated. I'll be taking one to the post office to get some official shipping costs today.

Shipping to Canada seems to be $55 for one case via USPS (they have no option for postal codes, I guess it's the same price for the entire country?)

OK, some crappy news from the post office today regarding international shipping.

Big bad news: the box is too large to ship to Australia, at all, via USPS (but not NZ, oddly enough.)

Slightly less (but still bad) news: combining two units together makes that package too large to go anywhere internationally.

The package is also about 2lbs heavier than I'd estimated, which raises costs $5 or so for international, so previous UK and Denmark estimates go from $90 to $95.

...why couldn't Commodore Gaming have made smaller cases!?

Have you sorted out whether you have any cases left?  I'm at zip code 09459 and would like one if any are available.  Thank you.


There are still cases left, PM sent.

Hey Tone... pretty cool cases... tempting for my PegII... and at a good price. Can you please calculate shipping cost to Mexico City?
 
Thank you!


Aw, man, they're another one like Australia that has a maximum size.  In the C= box, it's too large to ship.  If I could get the case into a smaller box (less than 79" girth and length combined, which may be possible) it looks like it'd get to Mexico for $80.

Obviously this would work for Australia as well, though they have the higher shipping rate of $135.

Whatever happened to this incarnation of C=? Did it go bust again too?


Apparently so.

Update: all cases paid for yesterday have been shipped!

Thanks.
