Commodore gets back on the case

Now owned by a Dutch firm, this favoiurite of aging gamers everywhere is back on the side of a computer case.

The new cases are all-metal and come sporting a range of different artwork. The new Commodore is using burn-to-metal techniques in order to be able to provide complete customisation of the case at unbeatable price. Forget about taking $1500 computer from Taiwan, slapping a $2500 paint-job and sell it for $4K, this is customisation on completely another level, but for fraction of a price...

The case with and without a paint job.

Pant process on the case is called C-Kin, and when the on-line store opens in April, it will offer designs based on several types: Classic Commodore, featuring various motives from the history of the company, Gaming, Street Art (for the Pimp My Ride generation), art photography, landscapes, and classical colours in several types (matte, shiny etc.).

Street Art will appeal to Pimp My Ride generation...

... an example of how the 8-bit generation looked compared to the later ones

The cases are just a base for gaming-oriented machines that will feature only the best gaming components now: Intel Core 2 Duo and Quads, nForce 680i based motherboards, complete mainstream and high-end DirectX 10 line-up from Nvidia and top-of-range Corsair memory. They claim they will have an outstanding customer support, and we are going to test that statement as soon as they roll out to the market. Guys, welcome back to the Piranha Club. µ
