Pro gaming computer
28 04 2008
Before we start I would just like to say I really want one of these machines.
There are some good looking machine available, with flashing lights and pretty add-ons, but there are very, very few who can match the range of pro gaming computers on offer at Commodore Gaming. Each of their pro gaming computer systems features a Ckin(/skin/) a custom Gaming related piece of artwork that is then painted onto the panels of the computer to produce a truly stunning looking computer system.
- High definition paint finish made to last
- Artwork is baked on metal case in 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven
- Paintwork is covered with durable anti-scratch layer for protection and shine
- Feel and touch of a painted car surface
Best of all these ckins are changeable so should you see a new one that takes your fancy you can simply change the case panels to the new ones and you have a new looking machine.
Of course for gamers a pretty machine isn’t everything! so today we’ll take a look at the top of the range gaming machine Commodore xx coming in at just over £3000 it aint cheap but you can choose any of the Ckin range and just take a look at the specs below and you see below the Ckin this beauty is a real beast:

If your not a fan of Vista then with Vista Ultimate you can downgrade to XP using your own CD and then back to vista if you want to. I would prefer to go for a dual boot option.
Now those are some serious Specifications any pro gamer would be proud of, and with these specs there are no game son the market that would put it under to much strain…
..but just to make sure if the guys at commodore gaming would like to send me one to test I’d be glad to put it through its paces.
The Commodore xx is the top of the range model, for a more wallet friendly option you could try the Commodore GX with very good specifications at £1600 you should still have the edge on the competition
