First post has images of the top and bottom of the first (first of three sets) C64x mold that are being made.  Barry has posted pictures of injection machine later in the thread.  Amazing what has to be done to produce plastic cases.

I know I'm not the target for this, but I preferred the "A600" style case... That did exist? Right? My memory isn't what it used to be

In fact, an "A600" case with the guts of a MacMini would be pretty fun

Yoz is working with them.  We shall see what the final product looks like.

It will be interesting to see how many people purchase this system. Since its not for sale yet, the real popularity isn't possible to estimate.
However, its definitely way more than 1000/year.
I hope they're shipping these with good C64 emulation software. That could add to the appeal.

The co-branding should significantly help in sales of the C64x especially with the network TV ads in the US as a additional layer of marketing.  April should be a very interesting month for those of us who remember pre-Amiga C= days.
