Lol didn't you read the memo. They don't want competition on their own products.


Not sure how support would work.  But you would hope it would not be back to C USA.
Surely being made up of OEM components it would be component BTB for the end retailer.
It looks nice enough and the GFX card is more than enough to run all the current games and full HD video.  Interesting the comments about expandability.  In the Linux world proprietry badgers would want to limit that to supported product sets.  Being able to plunk the latest GFX card in it does nothing for you if you dont have appropriate drivers.  That's nothing but pain for all concerned.
Doesn't mention if the BD Rom is a BluRay Burner?  If it is then you'd have to say this is a good "now" system that looks pretty schmacko and has the legacy badges to boot.

Having said that I have a simular 3.5 Ghz i7 CPU but 2700K System with striped 2x6GB/s raptor OS drives and striped 2x6GB/s 1TB data drives, USB3, BD Burner and a GTX570 card, Quiet ANTEC Sonata V case, and 23" Monitor. I paid $150 less.  :)

BTW: The retail distribution method makes perfect business sense and is how most franchises work.  You never see two 7Elevens in competition with each other in the same retail strip without at least a mile between them.  Additionally C USA is not just targetting the Amiga community, they're targetting anybody who remembers the Amiga experience and their potential offspring.  They're not stupid.  But that doesn't mean it will work in a global recession/downturn.
