Commodore Gaming PCs - They are Coming!

If you're old enough to remember Commodore then you may just find yourself smiling (at least a little) with this news... It seems Commodore are making a bit of a comeback into the gaming world with a range of new extremely high end gaming PCs. Back in the days when the Commodore 64 reigned supreme my parents thought an Atari 2600 was "good enough", so I had to wait a couple of years for the release of the Amiga 500 before I got my first real taste of computing and gaming awesomeness. And it really was awesome. I must say I am happy to see these guys still kicking :) Commodore Gaming - THEY ARE COMING Some of the machines are on display at CeBit 2007. Here are some snaps I found over at Total Video Games. I'm not a huge fan of pimped out cases, but these things look like they have superb build quality and they're definitely eye catching. I'd happily take the plain black case home with no complaints... /drool The specs on the machines are impressive;
