I was sort of on the fence as to whether it was real until the end... I mean you could feasibly make a short run 486 machine today if you wanted to without too much effort (depending on how hard you are willing to try could do SB emulator, FPGA, or the real thing) and stick it in a chonky case, in fact the case and the keyboard would probably be the most expensive parts. But it would probably be a one person super short run labour of love kind of project, and there's not a huge number of people out there who would necessarily appreciate it. Who knows, maybe this is where the dream turns into reality :D
