Commodore Gaming has announced it will launch a new breed of gaming PCs that will see the return of the legendary Commodore brand.

Commodore is a name which will bring memories flooding back to many a gamer and it’s been announced that the legendary brand is to return with a new range of high specification gaming PCs.

25 years ago, Commodore launched the best selling personal computer of the late 20th Century, the C64, and defined the early computer games experience for millions of people worldwide,” said Bala Keilman, CEO for Commodore Gaming. “We are privileged and excited to bring the Commodore brand back to the gaming community and mark a new chapter in its history with this exceptional machine. We’re sure that it will deliver what gamers need and want.”

The new Commodore PCs optimised for gaming will be launched at the CeBIT show in Germany on March 15 and attendees will be offered the chance to play the latest PC games using the purpose-built PCs.

Commodore Gaming is to make further announcements at the launch and promises that there are still some very exciting aspects of the product still to be revealed.

Each machine can be artistically customised to match the buyer’s personal taste. Commodore will be offering specially selected art including street art, photography, PC game artwork (inc GRAW 2) and many other licensed images. Commodore says that a revolutionary painting process will transform the exterior of the PC into an “open and inviting canvas“. There is also the opportunity for fans and artists to request and present their creative works to become a limited edition Commodore Gaming PC.

The systems can also feature ambient lighting and Ice Cube cooling to provide extreme levels of cooling. The four systems are the Cg (entry level), Cgs, Cgc and the extreme level Cxx. Each will run Windows Vista 64 bit OS and include only high-end components. Full launch details will be announced at CeBIT which begins today.

Google

Google’s acquisition of e-mail security vendor Postini is paying off for Google Apps enterprise users, who Wednesday are gaining access to extra security and compliance features.

The Google Apps Premier Edition will remain at its current price tag of US$50 per user, per year, despite significant upgrades based on Postini’s software-as-a-service offerings, Google officials say.

Google is also upping Gmail capacity for Premier Edition users from 10GB to 25GB. Both moves could help Google compete against the Microsoft Office set of workplace tools, which has long dominated the business market.

South Park Series 11 Episode 08

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I will be writing more TV show reviews for our ExtraTorrent.com blog, this is the first of them its South Park, personally I’m not a fan, but I have to cater for everybody :)

The Tourette Syndrome Association voiced their opinions about the episode, before it airs. They say they “fully expect it to be offensive and insensitive to people with TS and garner numerous calls and emails from our members and the TS community.”

TS short for Tourette Syndrome

Another piece of news in relation to South Park, is that after the episode has been aired it will be available to download and it will be un-cut, meaning the version aired will be edited, where as the download version is in full. :)

Please note: the download version may be in WMV format meaning Windows Media Video, so the quality be differ slightly, and the staff at South Park, realise their fans like downloads so their making them available :)

I’m prohibited by ExtraTorrent.com policy and regulations to post external links, so I will bring you the links as ExtraTorrent.com gets them :)

Enjoy!
