Less I have it reversed, the Vic Plus will have a D525 and the Vic Pro will have i5 and DVD. Both will have HDMI.

How many PCI card slots?

Where do I plug in Jupiter Lander?

I think this company just sticks a board in it. Dunno if they make the case. However if you look through the different models you can see the different angles of the case.

What an ugly looking computer. No style at all.
-
CUSA puts generic Intel boards in generic keyboard cases, film at 11.
-
I bet this is the next VIC....

Didn't they try claiming that was going to be one of the future models anyway?
-
When I saw title of this thread first time, I thought that somebody has made VIC FPGA implementation etc. but this is just CUSA crap. Otherwise I would just ignored this, but...
EAB way to handle CUSA is only good way, they have thread "One and only CUSA thread" this is how it should be here also

There is a rumour that they have. Hopefully we'll see it confirmed soon. :)

I have no reason to buy a Vic Plus or Pro. No thank you.

I tried them on my FPGA Arcade after replacing the bin files from the ones in VICE with no luck. :(

Sweet! It's a cheap PC motherboard in a case from someone else that looks nothing like a Vic-20 with a commodore badge on it!. Awesome you guys!

You are feeding a troll guys

Why didn't those asshats do white 64x cases and keyboard PCs :confused:

There is no way to troll enough with these kind of threads :)

Which reminds me, how are those projections holding up? Have those tens of thousands of C64Xes popped up in major retail outlets yet? Flying off the shelves, I bet!

Judging by their forums, still having heat issues and non working keyboards, lol. Lots of people have had to add fans to the 64 just to keep the wifi chips cool enough to work, or use a laptop cooling pad.
"I found the cause, the USB connector is not plugged.
I'm a little bit disapointed with this first impress... with custom tax, i pay near 800€ for this ! "

It is the problem with using a case design from the 80s...it looks cool, but there is a reason why designs have changed that go beyond mere appearance. It is hard to keep a system cool with the amount of heat generated. For example Apple uses an Aluminium build for their computers...yeah it looks streamlined, but really it acts as one giant heat sink for their computer.
It would have been better to build a C64 "inspired" case that made use of modern layout techniques than to try and build a duplicate that would require the voiding of warranties left and right just to make them work properly. I mean I have not owned either a PC or Mac since 2002 that would actually void the warranty if I looked under the hood. Hell both my Dell and Mac Pro would have been voided in the first day given that I usually install new after market components within a few hours of opening the box.
-
Well i'm glad Dammy put this thread up. This place has been really boring the last week or so. That's thumbs up Dammy!
WOAH! when did they put the price up on those things so high? Over $1000 is a lot of moeny for what you are getting...

Epona makes PSU and other power supply components that C=USA purchases from them. They do not make any other items in that AIO other then PSU. The case is a generic form and they had OEM parts assembled by a third party that they are selling.

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.

In excess of 100K units (C64x and VICs including barebones) have been sold. I doubt there will be big box in the near future but there are C=USA dealers springing up around the world. They buy barebones model and customize it.
More information will follow in the coming weeks about the Commodore Amiga series. They will be targeting high end home user and professionals.

Indeed we will be targeting the high end market with our genuine Commodore Amiga products. (Though quite how you know about our thus far secret projects I do not know!)
Several major European and Middle Eastern retailers have already taken pre-orders in the hundreds of thousands for the new Commodore Amiga 5000 machine we will be launching soon.
Keep an eye on the authentic Commodore Amiga (http://www.commodoreamiga.ir) site for more details in the coming weeks.

I guess this answers the question of the "Does the C64x promote piracy" thread. That would be "yes"

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

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.
-
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)

Barry has just unleashed some info about the new Amiga range.
here's a typical config for a mid priced new Amiga
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.
-
$1000 for a case? What is it made out of, gold?
Surely this has to be a practical joke that dwarfs even the IWin gag?
-
That Quadro card is not a $6000 card. $3000 on a good day. For $1000, the case better be phase change cooled.
Just when you think you've seen the worst, the gongshow starts up again, lol. No one in the market they are targeting cares one iota about the "Amiga" name.
The big boutique names are only still in existence cause many of them got taken over by bigger brands like Dell and HP (Alienware and Voodoo). HP getting out of the consumer market as we speak, and Dell re-purposed Alienware quite a bit.
What exactly is "Amiga" about these new Amigas? I thought the idea was along the lines of the C64x, a vintage looking case at a relatively sane price that would come with UAE.
Talk about an accident waiting to happen, lol.
-
A Quad core? Really, I would have expected more. All that and he cheaps out on the PSU!
-
latest bit of barry gold. A breakdown of a baseline Amiga.
motherboard 200
memory 100
cpu i7 quad 400
graphics 300
hdd 200
ssd 300
bluray 200
power supply 100
miscl 100
case 400
that's $2300 right there, now add labor/overhead/branding/advertising/ profit....
....so, what should they sell for??????
-
A grand for a case?
This is just trolling right? He didn't actually say that... right?
Please hold me.. it's getting dark..absurdity has gotten me. ugh...

Just curious, where does this number come from? Because if that's true, we now have an official measure of just how far removed dammy is from reality ;D
-
Invoice# 0000149547
minus
Invoice# 0000149320
equals: 227
So, 227 invoices have been issues in that time. I guess each one must be an invoice for 500 machines... :P
There are some interesting component prices appearing there too - surely a mass producer of high-end PCs such as Commodore USA could command much better wholesale rates of the tens of thousands of each component they'll be ordering? Right?
-
Oh, gotcha.
And I'm sure Barry totally has negotiated lower wholesale rates (after all, he's a furniture-retail king!) All that extra money will go to fund the real Commodore/Amiga-related projects he claimed would follow the C64x, obviously!

:) FYI: Those invoice #'s you are posting are NOT actual invoices #'s. They are nothing more than the form generated by our ecommerce site for "pending orders" that were fictitiously or erroneously placed and NEVER paid for. (most often by customers who just went through the process, and had their card declined, or never entered a valid email address etc.) We have had less than 400 of these in total in the last year.
-
Ah, that's a relief, so the plans for world domination are still on track and unit sales numbers are in the six figure range? Excellent! Now to sort out some proper QC testing before you ship the second hundred thousand units...

CUSA MORON FORUM POST...
Does anyone remember these Commodore Intel boxes? They had a big price tag too.
Comedy gold! Those cases were a work of art AND machines only 15% more than cheap and chearful 3.2ghz i7 with 8gb RAM etc....BECAUSE THAT WAS THE COST OF AN i7 TOP END PC ;)

Another thing I find funny is if you type "Commodore USA Amiga" into Google an Amiga.org thread shows up on the first page. Go ahead and keep starting these thread spammy!. It's only hurting your own cause.
