Cos Barry after buying a shipload of redundant PC motherboards needed to find out how many mugs were out there that were looking for retro stuff. He knew these mugs would pay a hell of a lot more for these old motherboards if he stuffed them in an old retro style case rather sell them off to folk who knew what they were and just how little they are really worth... ;)

Actually quite shrewd to be honest, but  I still don't like him... :)

You know I find it amazing all the folks who say they'd love one of these C64x cases, Why.... ???

I mean have you ever owned or used an original C64 breadbox style case, it's the worst design ever when it comes to doing any prolonged typing on, the C64c case was far more comfortable to use... :)

It's not like this case is something new and has never been seen or available before, if you really wanted a C64 case then for donkeys years they have been and still are available on eBay, so why not if you really want a C64 breadbox style case just buy the genuine article on eBay rip the MB out and do whatever it is you need this case for... :)

It's way beyond me why anyone thinks this C64x case is so amazing and a "must have" or "cool" item... I just don't get it... :confused:

Dead on, Piru. Months ago talking to Barry that was the general consensus.
We aren't C=USA's target market.


So why is Barry here and Dammy and Leo and WolfToTheMoon pushing this stuff if Barry has stated that we are not his target market... :confused:

Simple reason is, he's just here to try and piss us all off... :furious:

Personally, I've never owned an X86 I didn't build. But if it came to a choice of buying one from Micheal Dell or Barry Altman, I'd buy the C=USA machine (I really dislike Dell)


Awe Gawd... don't say that now were gonna have umpteen threads about how people really hate Dell and I'll have to go out and buy a Dell product just so I can hate it... :(

Will the madness never end... :crazy:

Why not? After all you've got Apple computers (so do I) and Steve Jobs is a nob.


True... these poxy iMacs suck big time, QuicktimePro f's up if you upgrade it beyond Ver 7.6.4, Safari's got all sorts of problems if you go beyond Ver 5.0.2 and Steve Jobs f'd up when they took him beyond Ver 0.1... bloody CrApple... :furious:
