Commodore 64x Kickstarter is a go go

Our long awaited Kickstarter campaign begins today. It's been 10 years in the making to get to this point! We want to say a big thank you to everyone who has commented, helped on Facebook, made suggestions or made great videos of our cases - thank you so much - you have helped enormously.

One thing I forgot to mention - we are at Retcon in London on Saturday the 18th of June and would be happy to see anyone who is in the area!

The Kickstarter link:

Here are some of the videos you guys have made - thank you!

Congratulations on your kickstarter! You're doing a great job, don't let the haters get you down! What you're doing is fantastic. I for one am super stoked to pick my rewards once your campaign goes live!

[DuncanMcBride]

LET'S GO! I'm so stoked, best of luck with this campaign! I'm about to snag myself an ultra and two monitors, can't recommend it enough for everyone else to do the same!

[StariusPrime]

Ive been keeping a bit of an eye on this project, but I never looked at your youtube page until now. So I have subscribed! And Ive backed the kickstarter. Keep up the great work and congrats on the great start to the Kickstarter!

CONGRATULATIONS! Cannot imagine how it feels to have this online now ;)… Still a few months to go, until I can enjoy my ***translucent*** Commodore 64X!

[DuncanMcBride]

Congratulations on already reaching full funding!

Great news thank you cant log on to Kickstarter at the moment but happy to wait. 40 years have passed since when I brought my first C64 from the computer shop a few more days won't make any difference.

Congratulations on your campaign launch! I have backed for a barebones case & of course that lovely monitor. I hope your sales are as hot as the weather here in Texas! :)

Can’t wait for commodore os vision to make a comeback! I thought it was so cool when the betas got announced/released way back in 2012

[jamesn]

I watched it all so you don't have to.

⚡Quick takeaways⚡

There will be a post-campaign survey for the colors
just like many other Kickstarters (for example Cerakey)

Paul Kitching will make the swag e.g. mug with coaster look better (look at his renderings of Stephen Jones's Checkmate products)

Sean shows off his modded notebook C64 power supply and external HDD tape deck from back in 2012

Commodore OS Vision demo is TBA

If you want a retro monitor, Stephen Jones's Checkmate 4:3 monitors in 17" and 19" have you covered
The widescreen Commodore monitor is for the aesthetic

New videos re: testing out new compatible motherboards for the C64x will be coming

I recently emptied a locker where I had been storing many things for nearly 30 years. Among those items is a collection of C= 64 & 128 & Vic20 computers and 1574/1541 etc drives and monitors and lots of software books and magazines (Run, Computer, etc), and several other things.

My reason for contacting you is I am trying to find a happy home for these valuable historical WORKING items. I am not necessarily selecting you as an interested new home for them, but maybe you know someone who might be interested and put us in contact.

IF needed I can provide lots of pictures or some pictures.

I am in Arkansas, and I tell you this because where ever they find a new home, shipping is a concern.

You need to post links in your videos to your website and kickstarter. Very affordable price though for the barebones. I remember holding off getting one back in 2013 because I couldn't afford do drop almost 300$ on an empty case. Your retail price of 160 pounds or 192 USD is much better.

There's a typo at the bottom of the page where it still says 14th April instead of July.

[francistaylor]

Apologies from a Australian, whoever made that comment was a muppet.

[brucekempf]

What's wrong with the ordering page? I can't order.

[TerribleFire]

I wasnt originally planning to get this. But now that the Italian Space Program has decided to try and steal this IP count me in.

[BitResurgence]

I was hoping to be able to pick an assembled machine AND an barebones case, but apparently you cannot do that on the kickstarter. Kind of a bummer. Seems you can only pick ONE.

[AussieAmigan]

Wishing you all the best!!!! Is there a link to the Kickstarter?

[Dino-xrgt]

Good evening.

Do you ship to France?
Regards and good luck!

You might want to get a lapel or handheld mic as the acoustics in your room are terrible.
