If you are looking for an affordable gaming PC, look no further than Commodore.

Yes, I did just say Commodore and before you check, yes, we are in 2008. Well over a decade after the Commodore brand disappeared, it has now returned and they are specialising in sexy looking PCs for gamers. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you will be doubtless be familiar with Commodore. It made its names with a string of successful home computers: The PET, the Vic 20, the C64 (still the world's single most successful computer, selling 17million units) and the Amiga range.

The affordable gaming PCs from Commodore Gaming look fantastic, thanks to what they called "C-Kins". These are high definition, gorgeous looking chassis panels for the computer. There's a huge library of brilliant looking C-kins available, and the choice is growing all the time. Up and coming artists, photographers and even street painters are being encouraged to get involved and create images which can be used for the C-kins. They are easily interchangeable too, and new ones will become available to coincide with landmark gaming titles. It's a really fun way to have an awesome looking computer.



I'm really pleased to see Commodore branded computers available again. If you are too, have a look at the website of Commodore Gaming and check out the incredible looking PCs. Prices at start at a very affordable £749 inc VAT for the "Commodore g".

John Redwood’s much publicised report on Competitiveness has attracted headlines for its recommendations over inheritance tax, but amidst the details are proposals which would be a real boost for IT contractors. He recommends that IR35 be got rid of completely and contractors be given the freedom to operate.

The idea comes as part of a package of proposals that Redwood’s Competitive Commission have worked, that have now been submitted to the Tory leadership for them to pick which ideas to adopt as policy.

IR35 has always been controversial and scrapping this complicated and unnecessary regulation would surely be a popular move with IT contractors. It might even win the Tories some votes, if most of the contractors weren’t South African anyway…
