The Commodore 64 was indeed released in a brown case.  The VIC-1541 disk
drive as it was first known was in a white VIC case.  When the brown
version came out the drive was then brown.  The same is true of the
VIC-1525 printer that was put in a quieter brown case and called an
MPS-801.  The only 64 that I have ever seen in a white case was one that
my brother put in a VIC case becuase his C64 Keyboard crapped out and
an old VIC keyboard is exactly the same electronically as the 64.
