Looks like any other Ubuntu 11.04 install to me, assuming he installed it off the included disc shouldn't it have some branding?  
Lack of a hardware based eject for the BD drive?  :laughing:

Really?
The mobo/cpu combination is worth slightly under $100,
TRY DOUBLE THAT

KEYBOARD? STOCK DAS KEYBOARD SELLS FOR APPROX $150
CASE? PRICELESS

Now you're up to $350, add a card reader,HDD, DVD drive, PCI mini WiFi/BT module, chassis bracket, memory, power switch/led, color carton, manual, rubber feet, logo badge, shipping carton, custom wire harness, fan, UL power suppply, labor, insurance, overhead, royalty payments, and profit.

Forget the busty blonde nympho call girl, you'll have just enough left for a toothless crack whore, if you're lucky. maybe.



I wish I could cut and paste that onto the "About Us" section of the C-USA website......

looks like it runs Crysis (a ca. 2008 game) better than the A1 runs Quake II, a ca. 1997 game...:P

My 5 year old Dell laptop could probably run it better then an A1 as well. What's your point?

The old "can it run Crysis" meme went out years back.  Any PC in the last 3 years can run Crysis just fine, lol.  My netbook from 2 years ago can run Crysis at low settings.  FYI, Crysis was releases in 2007....

Quit being dumb - and Crysis in low ql mode (yes, that's low ql mode - as a Triple SLI PC owner, I know this well) isn't much bragging rights going on FOUR years after the game was released.

How's the heat running Crysis?  :lol:  Install another fan yet?  Bet those newfangled games play real well with that limited keyboard.  Drill any holes in it yet?  That 140+ degree case bottom of those machines must be a real treat.  Maybe someone will sell officially branded laptop stands/coolers that you guys seem so fond of lately.

It would seem that Ptah has already put the thing on a fan assisted stand already. That must make the typing experience even more enjoyable. :rofl:

Yes, I'm totally jealous of a system I beat the ever-loving pants off of for $80 less than the price of the base model. How will I cope?

Pretty neat looking even if it is only an Atom based PC.
Why weren't POST messages displayed so we could see if C=USA has even bothered to modify the BIOS?

it would appear from this video that they haven't:

http://www.youtube.com/user/EternalPtah#p/u/0/a53UOSotyas

I am pretty sure that there is a picture floating around of the factory doing the vic-slims showing a bios screen with the commodore logo on it. But for the life in me I can't find it now.

===Edit===

Found it. You can see from the pic ,that the Chinese facility dealing with the vic-slim's has provided, the bios displaying the Commodore logo. Which makes me wonder why they have put it on the slims and not the flagship C64X.

Maybe thats another thing that will come on the COS 1.X disk lol. :D

Well, who's to say that's a real picture? Given how the other factory photos turned out...

Considering how easy this would be to do, you have to wonder why they didn't bother. Or , for that matter, why they didn't use a board with an option to bypass POST messages and display a graphics image instead (then they could have had a very colorful Commodore4 startup screen)
