Commodore Gaming offers EVE Online themed desktop PCs

Commodore Gaming and CCP have teamed up to produce EVE Online themed, gaming-focused desktop computers. There's not much to them; you get a case with some EVE artwork, and you choose between a pre-built system (which features an Intel Core 2 Quad processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX video card) and a custom system with components you determine.

Official case-mod deals make up a chunk of Commodore's strategy to compete with the big boys of enthusiast gaming PC sales -- like Alienware (now owned by Dell) and VoodooPC (now owned by Hewlett-Packard). Given the prestige of the old Commodore brand, this new iteration has a long way to go.

If you're a really hardcore EVE player in the market for a new computer, going this route couldn't hurt; you can even configure the case to match your faction of choice. Then again, do you really need a 9800 GTX to play EVE Online? Not so much, but it's up to you!

EVE PCs offered to eager pilots

Just in case owning a future proof rig that also makes you breakfast is not enough, CCP has announced an offer through Commodore Gaming to purchase customized EVE computers. Even if you don't play EVE, the custom schemes that Commodore has created are mighty impressive. These cases feature scenes from the game universe and motifs representing the four playable races. If your system is already enough to have you popping ships in nanoseconds, you may purchase the case by itself. For those of you in need of a new rig, Commodore offers a gaming setup with the following configuration:

Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6600: 2.4 GHz 8MB Cache
500GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA hard drive
2GB Corsair™ XMS2 Twin2x2048-6400C4 memory
NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GT 512MB graphics card
Choice of 1 out of 6 EVE Online C-kins
2 year warranty

Commodore is offering their artwork for a limited time only. Only five hundred pieces are available, so if you plan to get one, warp over their fast! Those cases are bound to find a happy home in the hands of some enthusiastic space pirates relatively quickly.
