Heh.  Note the "Sub300" graphic.  They originally were selling a linux-based mini-laptop several years ago that retailed for under $300 (I know because I almost bought one...and know several people who did).  I think it is funny that they still have the "sub300" graphic, are using a "sub500" domain, and the computer is around $800.

BTW, that thing looks like a piece of crap.  ;)

Someone put a mini-atx and a dvd drive into a C64. It almost looked the same:

This one even has mechanical switches. :)

Too bad the price sucks...

aw man, I didn't even know Commodore was back!

Their desktops look really cool, especially with all the artwork they have available.

They're not ridiculously expensive... but Commodore is kinda at a disadvantage:
The niche market they are appealing to already knows how to build a computer :/
