"I used to own a couple of Commodore 64 myself, It was actually my first computer experience at home. I got em via my moms thrift shop, mint condition too, we use to get lots of them along with many Atari systems."

I'd much rather mod and original, dead C64. $1500 is WAY too pricey.

That thing is Butt-Ugly!

It's costs too much, and you can build a 'big-boy' PC for far less.

What marketers will come up with just to get your money never ceases to amaze me.

It's pretty cool. But I agree, way to pricey.

the price isnt really that bad for a pre built machine, sure i could build one for less, but if you look at a dell or acer or whoever for a similar speced machine you will see the price is fairly decent.

It's totally ugly. They're trying to get sales with a "retro-hook" and they're gonna sink that hook into as many mooks as they can find. How many of you feel something tugging at you? LOL!

This PC's looks, translated into a car, would look like this:

I remember this getting flack back then for being underpowered and somewhat of a waste of money...

Still, people could buy this for other purposes, such as modding or for the retro chic look they're trying to get... It's not a bad pre-built PC but there are better out there.

I want one! However, at 1500 bucks a pop I will wait a while :)

$1500!?!?!?!?!?! They're freakin JOKING right?...........the c64 sucked ass 25 years ago, and that was at a fraction of the price.....

A donkey, made out of gold....is still a donkey.

I actually loved playing the C64 back in the day, it didn't suck at all imho.  There's one thing that is also missing from this article, and that the fact that they're also giving you a crap-ton of C64 games from back then as well.  Whilst some may not be all "SCHWEET!!!" over it, there are others, myself included, that would really enjoy that opportunity for legal retro gaming.  $1500 is a lot of money, especially for it not coming with a Windows OS, a monitor, etc., but once someone actually looks at how it is under the hood, there's a chance they might miraculously understand it.  Sure one can mod an original, but it would (I guarantee this) end up looking even uglier than these, and additionally there are those who'd love to be able to do so and just don't have the time, skill or patience to dedicate to the task.

After all of this, however, there's just one thing I have to ask... does it play Lemmings?  lol

The price is subjective. $1500 is a lot of money if you don't have the money. If you do, it's a unique PC and that's part of the cost. As with everything else, if it doesn't sell, the price will go down. I for one want one badly.

Include Paradroid, Bard's Tale, and the Ultimas and I'm so buying it.
