Wow! C-USA's first commercial.

Damn, I didn't check the price!

For $595 I expect something like:

Acer AM3910-U4012 Desktop PC - Intel Core i3-550 3.2GHz, 6GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, DVDRW, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Mind you, we won't get Windows 7 but free Linux and a pirate copy of Amiga Forever along with VICE.

Just buy the bare bones, and install your own board. Then you can have a core i3, i5, or i7. Thats what I will do, as I like the case.

Was wondering when all you folk who were so fascinated with buying one of these cases would realise that for 30 years now you could buy the original case at a fraction of their prices and have the real thing to do with as you please... :lol:

Franko, if you do not want one I say do it yourself. I have plenty of c64 cases and I have tried to mount other things inside. The old cases are mostly faded, brittle. Although I have seen some useful and creative mods using old cases, it still will look crappy compared to a new case designed to mount Mini itx board. The keyboard is nice also. Mine will have a core i5 and windows 7. Doesn't that really make you want to cry.
