Post by: XDelusion on October 07, 2010, 07:22:39 PM
My friend saw this on Ebay, I thought it was amusing:

"PC/Amiga Hybrid" -- what a joke.

I was shocked to find that the eBay seller WASN'T CommodoreUSA!  Don't be fooled; it's not a TRUE Commodore Amiga PC. It's just a cheap knock-off (after all there's no C= logo sticker on the case so it can't be any good) ;)

Run for your life, it has an SiS chipset in!

(Ok, it could be worse, it could be ALi)

Yea, $319 for a Pentuim 4 machine that has little expansion!. No thanks!. We donate faster machines then that at work all the time.

Smack a C= sticker on it and you could market it as... oh wait.

I saw these pop up a couple of weeks ago from the same seller at $399 I believe, and something like two or three had already been purchased.  I think Commodore USA's market has just been saturated.

Good job, myvbay!

That's about the price of a current Clone-in-a-Keyboard, but I don't know if anyone is  buying them. And, I've never seen one in the wild.

"state of the art" indeed...

Its a cute idea but nearly 400 bucks for that sort of equipment is rather wishfull
