Identifying a PC Case

[Tresty]

Hello everyone, can you help me identify this case? It is filled with Commodore logos, but I can't find a model online anywhere. The new Commodore site only has 2 phones, and no mention of a commodore pc anywhere when i try to google it.

I can tell you the 3.5” bays, and the FireWire port on the retrofit front I/o make it quite old. If it’s an actual commodore product rather than something shienzhen it won’t be something they’ve made in a while.

"Commodore" doesn't exist since 1994.
In 2007 "Commodore Gaming" sold PCs called "Commodore XX".
But I don't think, they exist anymore.
Some people sell commodore xx cases on ebay.

Thanks, apparently this is iT. Good find. It is built like a tank.

It's not a commodore, it's a Jellyfish swimming to the left!

From the pics it looks like a pretty standard case of the period.  Good side venting, no top venting, not enough front venting and some seriously hellatious front drive cages that may have to be Dremeled out.  My personal temptation would be to open the entire top all the way to the back so the PSU can breathe and a fan or two could be fit on the top. Or perhaps pick a case that wouldn’t take 6hours or work to make functional for a big cpu.  Wouldn’t be a bad case for a 65w cpu with a not very big big video card and a whole lotta lotta mechanical hard drives.  Front I/o would also likely have to be replaced.  USB 1.0 and FireWire is not going to do it.  There are lots of 3.5” port bays available though. So add the cost of that I guess.

It is an i5 6500 build with an rx 480 8gb from Saphire, the Nitro variant, should be more than enough cooling with that giant 22cm vent (not even sure how big it is, but it is BIG). Apparently it is some sort of RGB not only blue, it has some proprietary connector for vents, besides the standard molex. I will look into it further and do some temp testing, but should be ok for these components.
