From toasters to C64s.... LOL.

Maybe it's time to start hacking up that old PS2 ;)

I'll tell ya one thing I haven't seen.....a sealed acrylic case completly filled with nonconductive "goo", mixed with UV glitter and/or some UV liquid, a few small motors with paddles to move the goo around, and a heater core in the back to keep the goo from getting TOO warm. The thing would probably weigh a little more than you'd like it too, though :P

With all that C64 modding, where is the Epic Fastload Cartridge supposed to go?

See, you put the PC in the C64, and the C64 in the PC.

Right? Like those guys putting PS2s in the PC. And then you have guys putting PCs in the PS2s.

Frankily, a miniITX in a C64 shell doesnt impress me UNLESS they get the keyboard working.

They didn't? I thought that was the point of using the C64 shell to begin with.

Its a bit sad that he wrecked the wiring for the keyboard too. I mean a switch is a switch, He could have wired the old board up just by copying the traces on a modern board then wiring it up to that modern controller. I'm not saying I would bother, but he could have done it. And I agree, its just not finished until that keyboard works.
Nice work otherwise, it was basically made for it lol.
