Return of the Commodore 64!

ThePhillyFlash · April 8th, 2011, 12:31 AM

Raise your hand if you're of a certain age and once owned a Commodore 64 way back in the 80's like I did. Well....IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Pretty neat, I must say!

Didn't someone already post this?

Want. Now.

Not at that price, but... I'll wait. Will own. It'll look nice next to my original one.

superplough · April 8th, 2011, 12:43 AM

I'd like one too.

I'll get it someday lol.

Way to expensive even if it is nostalgic.

For how much? There is such a thing as excessive nostalgia.

I prefer ergonomic keyboards

Shape it like this

but with Dvorak style keys instead of QWERTY and I'd buy it

This is clearly meant for nerds that make really good money.

595, its basically a netbook without the monitor (they make 'pcs' like that too now). Doesn't seem too obsessively priced.

Vaikyuko · April 8th, 2011, 03:47 PM

Ryuuji is clearly evil -- Dvorak instead of QWERTY, and ergonomic!? MADNESS!

Also, this seems like...I dunno. Do people really care about the Commodore 64 anymore?

Meh I'm a sucker for old cases up to a certain point. Powermac g3-g4's, 2001 era white with acrylic apple designs like the iMac (nicknamed iLamps) or the g4 cube was pretty cool but I've seen so much beige in my life I have PTSD. Wouldn't mind those badass NEXT cubes that's for damn sure!

I think you're better off modding your own to be honest. It essentially runs a C64 VM on top of Ubuntu 10.04 so this isn't really anything special.

I think I've found Ryuuji's dream keyboard, I weep for mankind.

People raging over ergonomic keyboards. Never change AN
