Found this Mini-ATX Project.

Yup somebody gutted our beloved C64 to put a PC inside.

I'm not sure if I should be mad? :evil: or think about how cool it is.

Isn't there someone we can report this kind of pointless cruelty to?

The 'RSPC64', or something?! ;)

In Germany you can sue because of "Störung der Totenruhe" (disturbing the grave peace) but *sadly enough* this doesn't apply to retro icons like a C64 (regardless if in working shape or not). :lol:

A friend recently told me he would like to to such a mod. The amount of cursing that followed is not appropriate for repetition here; I think he kind of abandoned the idea. :)
It's really sad when a C64 is ripped appart like that for the sole purpose of making a PC appear retro.

To add insult to injury a co-worker of mine told me how he was cleaning the basement and threw out TWO VIC20's!!!! :(

I've never owned one.
