Check this LINK out, looks fake to me. I do hope i'm right in thinking someone has just stuck a "C=" sticker on it.

Commodore did infact make PC's with the commodore sticker on it. I believe i have seen both 386 and 486 commodore pcs.
I do find this ebay listing very strange though..
Commodore went bankrupt in 1993 afaik, which was well before pentium pcs and there was surely no commodore pc released in 1995.

This is from the Escom days and there badged PC's. They came with Commodore branded mouse, keyboard and amplified speakers(Which where pretty good)

But didnt Escom just buy the Amiga name and rights?? Surely this would not allow them to use the Commodore brand...

Escom bought all of Commodore. The Commodore brand name was slapped onto PCs, and the Amiga brand name continued with the new batches of 1200s, 4000Ts, and the Walker.

It was Gateway who bought only Amiga, leaving the Commodore brand to hop between similarly useless owners.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I really wonder why they did not use the commodore brand on their amigas though.
