CUSA Amiga range will cost up to $25,000

[commodorejohn]

So to his laughable attempt to take on a market he obviously doesn't understand at all (again,) he's added an abortion of a pre-fab case that looks like the unholy love-child of a VCR and a microwave? Good to know that the sycophants won't even have "well, it has a nice case!" as a talking point this time...

[Duce]

That case can be had for $300 in the North American market, and traditionally has received poor reviews (the S16T).

If this is their entry into the "workstation" market, it would probably be wise to use a workstation case, not an HTPC case.

Sorry, where are the new cases on their forum site? Can't find them :confused:

don't worry. i'm sure randy will be along at any minute to tell us -- since i'm sure we're all waiting with baited breath -- that the pictures are here and that barry is bringing the amiga back, and that it will be 'interesting times,' something about popcorn, and maybe some spam about how great the plans are, how big this has grown, and how we're all nuts for not believing his sycophantic nonsense.

all hail bazza and his business genius!  :lol:

I think the cases are really cool so might try and get one for myself one day but not the crap cusa one. I'm in love with anything cnc'd aluminum

Oh boy that means 3 or 4 more announced and never released products now cancelled, being replaced by more pictures of cases. Whats that like 10 now? Wow the development over there is really racing towards the future!
 
What do they do just go looking for case pictures when they need to announce "new products"?

Goto http://commodore.net/ then click Amiga.

My favorite part is the HD-DVD drive, guess someone did not know they stopped being made a few years ago.

My local gamestation sells the XBOX 360 HD DVD for £20 and £30 with 10 movies lol. So maybe Barry has bought a load and repurposed them. :roflmao:

The cases were been sold by Origen from about 2008ish. So the blu-ray and hd DVD war was probably still going. Love the bad photoshopping on the images though.

So what's the touch screen like? What does it do? How does it compare to newer smartphone/tablet screens?   :confused:

[CritAnime]

It doesn't mention if it's touchscreen is capacitive or resistive. My money would be on resistive. Though it can apparently support a resolution of 1920x1080. The screen is supposed to be used as a media controller. So you can have windows media centre running on it while you watch something on the main monitor. If this is the case they have gone for, which it does look likes there is a cheaper one with a LCD screen instead, then I can imagine they would try to leverage some sort of gimmicky professional functionality in to it.

For $25,0000 it better do everything!

[Kesa]

Maybe they could use it as a fingerprint scanning security device!  :cool:

[Argo]

$700 for a case!

Oh hey, they finally got a website that doesn't look like total ass! Now if only they'd managed to get a website that doesn't require Javascript to display static page content, they might have a usable website that doesn't look like total ass!
