I think this company just sticks a board in it. Dunno if they make the case. However if you look through the different models you can see the different angles of the case.

Didn't they try claiming that was going to be one of the future models anyway?

I just got off a long phone call with Barry. Barry apologizes for the delay in answering the questions we asked awhile ago, but he is busy living a real life fairy tale.

He wanted me to replay that the AIO keyboards are have seals. If you spill something on the keyboard, just wipe it off (or a damp rag if it's soda because of the acid). Keyboards are replaceable.

Yes, there is going to be unbelievable amount of games that will come on the preinstalled hard drives. There will be multiple options on what OS you can get pre-installed which you can boot from.

They are working on a app store, devs will pick what price they want (if any) to sell it for.

Amiga information will be coming out in the next 14 or so days. He was hoping it will be in the next couple of days but it might be a couple of weeks. Again, he is time is extremely limited. 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.

Very exciting times


As quoted by Dammy over on c-a.org.

Just a little bit I am unsure of.

I hope C=USA don't think they can sell business servers for $20K+ and not provide expert tech support 24/7 with that....


I have wondered how they have managed to go this long selling the VIC's and C64X systems without proper tech support. At the moment thie tech support exists as a few fanatics on a forum.

And let em tell you that those computers that hit the 20k range best be gold plated.

Barry has just unleashed some info about the new Amiga range.

here's a typical config for a mid priced new Amiga

Quote
1-Case (IMHO, there is nothing better) hope you agree $1000
1-RVD3X2-FHPX4-960G (for OS + Apps) $3000 +
2-NVIDIA Quadro 6000 $7000 +

We are already over $11K, and we haven't even talked about memory,hdd storage, cooling, cpu's, motherboards etc.

The entry level will be about $2500-5000
then 5-10, then 10-15, 15-20, then $25K+++

We are not planning on competing with Dell ,emachine, and the rest....
Commodore Amiga lineup will be geared for prosumer/pro/business-industrial users.


Thanks Barry for keeping me laughing.
