I would love to see a complete modern pc wrapped in a retro styled keyboard like this. With usb-c power and video output you could just plug it into a monitor with one cable.
- mydriasis 3y agoRaspberry Pi 400 might be a good halfway point for you!
- st3ve445678 3y agoYeah, I actually have one. Pretty cool little machine, but too slow, ugly and no ssd built in.
- agloe_dreams 3y agoI know it's not fully a modern computer, but that sounds like a Pi 400 to me.
- retrocryptid 3y agoCan confirm. Using a PI400 as my SDR rig. It does have a little of the old C64/994/800 feel to it. But the keyboard is pretty crappy.
- wintogreen74 3y agothe keyboard is loads better than the Atari 400 keyboard though!
- retrocryptid 3y agoWell, yes. That's definitely true. And I've been thinking about hacking a repurchased klacky-key keyboard into my PI400. It shouldn't be TOO hard.

- the_third_wave 3y agoGet a full-sized keyboard - a model M would work fine here - and a laptop with a broken screen plus some assorted bits and pieces. Fit the motherboard from the laptop in the keyboard after making the required openings in the keyboard enclosure. Hook up the power supply and a monitor and voilà, a keyboard PC.
- cmiles74 3y agoIt's quite a bit bigger than an Atari 800XL, but I jammed a whole PC in an old Mac SE case. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/11zqznn/jammed_new_pc_in_old_macintosh_se_case_modded/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/11zqznn/jammed_new_...
- timbit42 3y agoJust take a laptop with a broken screen, and remove the screen and connect it to a desktop monitor.
