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 :)

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;

Processor: IntelR CoreT2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700, 2.66 8M Cache 
Motherboard: ASUSR P5N32-E nForce 680i SLI 
Hard Drive: 2x 150Gb 10000 Rpm Sata Raid 0, 1x 500Gb 7200 Rpm Sata 
Memory: 4 Gb Corsair Dominator twin2x2048-8500C5D, 1066MHz 
I/O.: 7in1 cardreader; (Front) USBx2 Firewire x 1 HeadPhone x 1 MicroPhone x 1 
Optical:Philips DVDRW 
Power Supply: 1000W ICE Cube PSU 
Audio: CreativeR SoundBlaster X-Fi 
Graphics: 2x nVidia 8800 GTX 768MB

So impressive infact that I think they're well out of my price range. But damn they look good. And it's Commodore. Nuff said!
