This is a mini-itx PC surrounded by a gorgeous retro C64 case. For those of us who still remember loading a cassette, typing LOAD,8,1: having it churn away for 5 minutes and then return with load failed, instead of loading Loderunner or Boulderdash, this is the ultimate timewarp.

How dare you insinuate that a C64 is just a keyboard?!

The hardware blurb, it is a mini-itx based system with an Intel D525 Atom processor (1.8Ghz Dual-core) & NVidia ION2 GPU (210M).All models come with a card reader and the various models offer different optical drives (DVD or BDRom) Hard Drive sizes and amounts of RAM.

I had the Amstrad CPC 464, It did have It's bugs...Most of the time you spent loading the cassette and most of the time It didn't work.
But when It did, I liked Roland In the Caves, tho I never managed to get out the damn cave.

Does the apple still boot ?

I miss the old computers, especially the good old bad old DOS days, and using XtreeGold to sort, rename and move files.

Actually the new C64x is supposed to have (or soon to have) an option to boot to Commodore OS 1.0 which gives you access to alot of 8 bit games and productivity software in emulation mode. It really is the best of both worlds, the PC comes with a customised Ubuntu distro, plus the Commodore OS & games & apps, and of course the ability to install Windows if you wish.
