Sell one for $300 and I'd buy it.

All the new systems will have pre-installed OSs with thousands of games.  If you don't like it, don't buy it.  Can't get much simpler then that.


I don't think the lawyers will like the piracy there, and they don't have to buy it they will just own you if you do that :roflmao:

I just got off a long phone call with Barry. Barry apologizes for the delay in answering the questions we asked awhile ago, but he is busy living a real life fairy tale.

He wanted me to replay that the AIO keyboards are have seals. If you spill something on the keyboard, just wipe it off (or a damp rag if it's soda because of the acid). Keyboards are replaceable.

Yes, there is going to be unbelievable amount of games that will come on the preinstalled hard drives. There will be multiple options on what OS you can get pre-installed which you can boot from.

They are working on a app store, devs will pick what price they want (if any) to sell it for.

Amiga information will be coming out in the next 14 or so days. He was hoping it will be in the next couple of days but it might be a couple of weeks. Again, he is time is extremely limited. Amiga will using all high end hardware (i7) with price for AIO starting around $2K and going upwards into the $20K plus zone. Amiga will be targeting the pro home user and professionals.

Very exciting times


As quoted by Dammy over on c-a.org.

Just a little bit I am unsure of.

Nah better call HyperEON .....

Honestly it will be interesting what will fall harder, the A1X1K or NotC=USA.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Who will be providing the 24/7 technical support for these systems?

I hope C=USA don't think they can sell business servers for $20K+ and not provide expert tech support 24/7 with that....

Apple pretty much owns the AIO market with it's iMac line.  HP and Dell have tried to compete but nobody seems to be able to take on Apple....

I have wondered how they have managed to go this long selling the VIC's and C64X systems without proper tech support. At the moment thie tech support exists as a few fanatics on a forum.

And let em tell you that those computers that hit the 20k range best be gold plated.

Bloody hell.  Have they any idea what their competition is?  Here's a typical high-end desktop from a major online hardware dealer:

This had better be a joke. $2,000-20,000 is...****, there are 12-core rack-mount servers for $3,000. What does it do, perform sexual service on users while they're logged in?

If this is serious, Barry is a ****ing loon.

Just remember that this "news" comes from Spammy, the same person who publishes pictures of a factory in Germany and thinks it is in China and who's personal attempts to sell computers have always resulted in catastrophic failure.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is news to Barry too.

They'll have liquid cooling... The 20.000 bucks is a 1000 dollar Dell PC, and 19.000 dollars of Exfuze to cool it with :D (about 27 bottles at market price)

http://www.commodore-amiga.org/forum/27-commodore-usa/8551-phone-call-with-barry?lang=en#8569

Barry has just unleashed some info about the new Amiga range.

here's a typical config for a mid priced new Amiga

Quote
1-Case (IMHO, there is nothing better) hope you agree $1000
1-RVD3X2-FHPX4-960G (for OS + Apps) $3000 +
2-NVIDIA Quadro 6000 $7000 +

We are already over $11K, and we haven't even talked about memory,hdd storage, cooling, cpu's, motherboards etc.

The entry level will be about $2500-5000
then 5-10, then 10-15, 15-20, then $25K+++

We are not planning on competing with Dell ,emachine, and the rest....
Commodore Amiga lineup will be geared for prosumer/pro/business-industrial users.


Thanks Barry for keeping me laughing.

So...he's going after the industrial and "prosumer" (your hilarious coinage for the day) market, and he thinks that those are the kind of people who will be motivated to buy by a custom case and a brand name that's had the last shreds of general-public respectability raped out of it before he even got to it? Right, good luck with that.
