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.

Even though some people on here have issues with C=USA at least they have release actual Hawrdware that Gateway or Amiga INC failed to do.


Gateway has sold tons of PCs.

Amiga Inc. even sold some too.

Are you trying to say the chinese got the better of you?  Really Barry I appreciate that you are new to the computer business but you have to be a better negotiator than that to make it.  As you are now aware there are entire cities in China devoted to computer parts, the factories DO compete with each other and they DO drive a hard bargain.  China is the last place on earth to start to learn how to haggle.


Barry also claims that they sell the VIC-Slim at a loss, even though they sell it for over 2x what the manufacturer sells it for.

I'm not sure if Barry is paying way too much for things, or if he is just really, really bad at math.
