Tacitus Krekt Wreckless Abandon Un-Natural Selection	Posted - 2008.04.11 07:09:00 - [1] Edited by: Tacitus Krekt on 11/04/2008 07:14:43 Whilst looking at the seperate cases and component offers, I noticed a discrepancy between their website and the EVE site link -- specifically in regards to the graphics card in the package. At the commodore link, it says: NVIDIA« GeForce« 9800 GTX 512MB graphics card At the EVE-O link, it says: NVIDIA« GeForce« 8800 GT 512MB graphics card Ok, now since I'm through nitpicking the details -- I'd like to say that the casework is awesome, and if I had the extra money lying around, and was the kind of person to spend money on case-artwork -- I would get it.
Burrito NL Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.11 07:40:00 - [2] Edited by: Burrito NL on 11/04/2008 07:48:20 geez you guys are fast! I only updated the specs within the last hour (I work for Commodore) and am in the process of emailing CCP about it.... I just figured nobody would mind the upgrade for the same price... so the specs are: Intel« CoreÖ2 Quad Q9300: 2.5 GHz 6MB Cache ASUS« P5N-D (NVIDIA« nForce« i750) motherboard NVIDIA« GeForce« 9800 GTX 512MB graphics card 500GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA hard drive 2GB CorsairÖ XMS2 Twin2x2048-6400 memory: 800MHz DVDRW optical drive 750W ICE Cube power supply On Board Integrated Hi Definition 7.1 Channel sound Microsoft« Windows VistaÖ Home Premium operating system Or you can just get an empty case ofcourse ! :D
Tzar'rim Reckless Corsairs	Posted - 2008.04.11 08:10:00 - [3] You have those cases on display somewhere other than Amsterdam?
Burrito NL Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.11 08:14:00 - [4] Originally by: Tzar'rim You have those cases on display somewhere other than Amsterdam? They're actually not on display in amsterdam either... I can only point you to our 3D-viewer... if you click the little + on the left of the cases as shown on http://www.commodoregaming.com/eu/Game+PC/eve+online/Special+Offer.aspx you will see the 3D version and you can move it around... Simplicity is the key to genious
Mithfindel Argent Group	Posted - 2008.04.11 08:58:00 - [5] Starts to look better now (locally, could get a system conforming to the old specs 500 euros cheaper, sans the gorgeous case). Now it is line with what I'd expect. (Kind of hard business, selling computers is like selling T1.) Too bad I'm kinda out of change, it would be about time to upgrade from the GeForce 6 level.
Burrito NL Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:06:00 - [6] If you look again you'll see we lowered the price even more... sorry for all the changes but we're in the same process with our "normal" systems... just bad timing.... at least you're all getting a better deal out of it!

Braaage eXceed Inc. eXceed.	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:08:00 - [7] Nice looking skins but I would have severe reservations about putting high end equipment in one of these, there's absolutely no air flow that I can see. -- eve-guides.com All about POSs, Outposts, Exploration, Mining, Invention, EVE Database + much more!!

Posted - 2008.04.11 09:10:00 - [9] Originally by: Braaage Nice looking skins but I would have severe reservations about putting high end equipment in one of these, there's absolutely no air flow that I can see. There's actually great airflow, the door doesn't close off the front, it's "floating" there's a 16mm "gap" through which the front fan can get air, there's a rear fan and a huge 250mm side-fan.... we have no problems at all with airflow...

Mithfindel Argent Group	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:14:00 - [10] A note on the 3D-viewer: There's only one + per column. However, since they've ordered differently, you can view all the cases by checking the cases-only sale viewer.
Burrito NL Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:16:00 - [11] Originally by: Bimjo the + on each case is for other cases, I click on Caldari and I get Gallente That's a bug in the positioning of the buttons of the bottom row, the website guru's are looking at it... thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Braaage eXceed Inc. eXceed.	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:17:00 - [12] Now you said that I went back and had another look, I see what you mean, I missed that the first time looking. -- eve-guides.com All about POSs, Outposts, Exploration, Mining, Invention, EVE Database + much more!!
Ishina Fel Caldari Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:28:00 - [13] Well, those huge 250mm side fans have been known to ruin any and all proper front-to-back airflow with its turbulences. However, if you say that there are no problems with dissipating heat, then I assume you have tested the system assembled and have assured adequate cooling. Bored during Downtime? Why not try Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN!

However, if you say that there are no problems with dissipating heat, then I assume you have tested the system assembled and have assured adequate cooling. I use side fans(4X120mm) to push air on to my Mboard and the front and back fans suck it all out,seems to work well with my very hot setup
Lardarz B'stard Amarr Dark Knights of Deneb Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.04.11 09:34:00 - [15] Edited by: Lardarz B''stard on 11/04/2008 09:34:38 The cases do look really sexy, especially the one with the Absolution on it. Shame I've just recently got a new case and stuff or I would have had one of those. edit-can't spell

Those graphics still have to be made, CCP is extremely busy... As for shipping... the Cases would be 262.86 US$ (without VAT) and shipping to Seattle (took the address of the spaceneedle) would be (don't blame me) 425 US$ (we do not make money on shipping, you can check with TNT) for Express or 407 US$ for Economy Express. Obviously if you can arrange other shipping or have suggestions for that we are willing to help you save cost on this. Simplicity is the key to genious

Andre Marconius Gallente House Of Troy	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:01:00 - [21] Looks like a very overpriced system to me and that includes the case
Burrito NL Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:05:00 - [22] Originally by: Andre Marconius Looks like a very overpriced system to me and that includes the case We do competitor analysis before we offer any system... we find we are not at all overpriced compared to our competitors... And we add extra features... Simplicity is the key to genious
Andre Marconius Gallente House Of Troy	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:16:00 - [23] Edited by: Andre Marconius on 11/04/2008 11:16:31 That is why I can get a pretty much identical system for less. Still, I do like what commodore do with their pcs, especially the cases but for me it's the value that counts.

Still, I do like what commodore do with their pcs, especially the cases but for me it's the value that counts. I didn't say you can't get it for less... that's probably at a webshop or something where you have to build yourself... and pretty identical is also very hard because the difference in cost can be huge even if you only use a different brand... we do close analysis of the specs and the brands we use and compare it against our main competitors (Alienware, Dell, Voodoo, Evesham, Beast, etc) and we do find we are competatively priced. As said, we cannot compete with webshops that sell parts, we have a factory, add labour to build, have a full OS included, stresstest for 24 hours, we have sound proofing material, we give a 2 year warranty on the full system. Those comparisons are hard to make against a webshop. We do appriciate that people look at those websites and look at what it would cost but please try to keep in mind that we do add these extra features and you are essentially comparing a lada to a mercedes (no offence to lada, we used to have one ;)) Simplicity is the key to genious
John Nerush RONA Midgard Academy	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:23:00 - [25] Are the cases limited, ie. will you be selling them untill stock runs out or will they be avalible for the forseeable future? Its going to be around 6 weeks before i can order one.
DragonRanger	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:29:00 - [26] Edited by: DragonRanger on 11/04/2008 11:30:27 One thing I would like too point out about the choice of motherboard (which I own): The onboard audio on mine (and by the look of asus's forums, most of them) is VERY bad, constant loud white noise.
John Nerush RONA Midgard Academy	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:30:00 - [27] If you choose to run a system to the spec of one of these i would expsect you to upgrade to a dedicated soundcard anyway, there possibly one of the easyest thing to fit on a pc.
Cutter Isaacson Minmatar Hollow World Mining Corporation QUANT Hegemony	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:32:00 - [28] Those cases are awesome. Ive been a huge fan of Commodore since I knew how to use anything with a keyboard (I still own an Amiga 600 and use it) and its great to see you guys are still around. Im gonna have to look into getting myself one of the Minmatar cases, it would look so sweet sitting on my desk, but as someone else pointed out there is only 1 version whereas caldari and amar have 2, what gives? "There just aren't enough bullets to go around..." H.W I speak only for myself, not my Alliance
DragonRanger	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:33:00 - [29] Originally by: John Nerush If you choose to run a system to the spec of one of these i would expect you to upgrade to a dedicated sound card anyway, there possibly one of the easiest thing to fit on a pc. That is true, but usually onboard audio is enough to get by. With this you HAVE to get a dedicated sound card.
Ocularis Refuge of the Damned Red Republic	Posted - 2008.04.11 11:40:00 - [30] Each to their own and all that, but IMHO those cases are fugly How gone in the head must you be to want to have a pc that is actually painted the same as 1 game you play... Decent specs though, but bring back the Amiga
