CUSA puts generic Intel boards in generic keyboard cases, film at 11.

Which reminds me, how are those projections holding up? Have those tens of thousands of C64Xes popped up in major retail outlets yet? Flying off the shelves, I bet!

Amiga will using all high end hardware (i7) with price for AIO  starting around $2K and going upwards into the $20K plus zone. Amiga  will be targeting the pro home user and professionals.

HOW MUCH!?!?!?!?

This had better be a joke. $2,000-20,000 is...****, there are 12-core rack-mount servers for $3,000. What does it do, perform sexual service on users while they're logged in?

If this is serious, Barry is a ****ing loon.

So...he's going after the industrial and "prosumer" (your hilarious coinage for the day) market, and he thinks that those are the kind of people who will be motivated to buy by a custom case and a brand name that's had the last shreds of general-public respectability raped out of it before he even got to it? Right, good luck with that.

Number of orders in 3+ months : 227

Just curious, where does this number come from? Because if that's true, we now have an official measure of just how far removed dammy is from reality

[commodorejohn]

Oh, gotcha.

And I'm sure Barry totally has negotiated lower wholesale rates (after all, he's a furniture-retail king!) All that extra money will go to fund the real Commodore/Amiga-related projects he claimed would follow the C64x, obviously!

  FYI: Those invoice #'s you are posting are NOT actual invoices #'s. They are nothing more than the form generated by our ecommerce site for "pending orders" that were fictitiously or erroneously placed and NEVER paid for. (most often by customers who just went through the process, and had their card declined, or never entered a valid email address etc.)  We have had less than 400 of these in total in the last year.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. As long as you're here, mind sharing how many C64xes have actually sold?

(And if you want to object by way of asking me about my sexual preferences, I'll be more than happy to share!)
