Screw the Ipad and all dumb hip technology, retro computing is all I care about.

A bit expensive @ $499 for the barebones kit, but it's a fully fledged Socket 775 system. When it comes time to retire my Q6600, I wouldn't mind dropping it into this with an SSD if the prices go down a bit. It would totally be a great DOS or emulator machine. I'm only disappointed in the cheesy 2005 style Taiwanese design and finish. It doesn't look nearly 80s enough. Maybe a big Commodore logo plastered all over it would help. I wish it looked like a Sinclair QL.
