Are they? My impression is that the said community wants nothing to do with C=USA and they're actually targeting a totally different crowd (nu-retro folks.. someone who doesn't care what is inside the box as long as it looks nice & runs facebook and messenger). Makes sense, after all this nu-retro scene has a huge potential compared to the tiny classic retro crowd.

Out of curiosity, what makes a PC in a C64 case an interest to an amiga community, as opposed to a C64 one?
 
 
Im not actually trying to be snide here, I think its a cool idea, if overpriced for what you get.
But Im not sure there's much relevance other than "the company that made your computer also made this other computer, so here's a netbook power PC put into that case".
A PC in a spectrum case would be as relevant.
 
 
If I was in the market for something "retro amiga" that isnt my 1200, I'd go with Morph OS instead

The interest would come from the fact that most Amiga users bought their Amiga as an upgrade to a C64. While the machines were not compatible with each other, they are forever linked as part of the same line.

Thats what i figured, but we dont even have a C64 forum here. I'd imagine the link from the original C64 to the original amiga would be a lot closer than the link from the 64x to whatever is considered amiga now.

You can run aros or uae on the c64x, so technically the 64x is more ontopic than an actual c64.
 
breadbox 64 is cool, I only don't use mine because it has a fault while my c128 is solid.

This is true. I look forward to all the talk about Dell computers. Great amiga deals.

Apple peddle their shit on pre-order all the time and no one bats an eye lid...

Anywhere but here, I'd agree but honestly, the crowd on this site hates apple more than I hate Hitler.

Seconded. Both are pathological, but only Apple still represents a danger to society at large.


You know, I may not always agree with everything you say, but that is f'ing hilarious.

Well played sir :)
