Commodore Amiga lives again, in Mini PC form

commodore amiga mini.jpgOne to provoke nostalgia, maybe, among Gadget Masters of a certain age... Commodore USA has breathed life into another old brand with the release of the Commodore Amiga Mini PC.

Taking a leaf of out Apple's Mac Mini book, it's a small form factor device with a bring-your own monitor and keyboard approach...

According to the company:

The new Commodore AMIGA mini case is ultra small and is made of 100% all aluminium housing, finished by sandblasting and anodic oxidation. It also includes a slot load Blu-Ray drive and internal space for two 2.5" hard drives. It measures 7.5 inches square, with a height of only 3 inches. There is no end to its placement possibilities.

The spec? Commodore USA says it features:

    * 16 Gigs of fast DD3 memory.
    * Integrated nVidia Geforce GT 430 Graphics with 1 Gig of DD3 memory.
    * The ability to drive 3 monitors displays.
    * HDMI, 2-Dual DVI and DisplayPort output. (includes VGA adaptor)
    * 7.1 channel high definition sound.
    * 6 Gb/s SATA HD
    * 4 USB 3.0 and 4 USB 2.0 ports for external data access.
    * A slot loading Blu-ray drive that can also write DVDs.
    * 2 WiFi antennae for outstanding signal reception.
    * A 1 Tb Hard Disk to store video and personal data.
    * Optional 300 or 600 Gb SSD drive

Thanks to Sue P for flagging this one. She says it is going to make her dig out the old Amiga buried at home, gathering dust...
