>The Ultimate 64 mainboard, which has been around for a while and of which the C64 Ultimate mainboard is based on is the equivilent of 300 dollars so
Which is laughably overpriced considering it's a mostly empty board with a small bit of components and mostly relies on FPGA. And from what I am seeing in the images of it, you need to supply your own damn SID chip?
>plus a case
So bunch of plastic, about as much plastic as a storage tub at a dollar store
>and quality mechanical keyboard
Which you can get for as little as $20 these days
Tell me, what justifies this thing costing 50% more than something like a mister? Pretty sure the FPGA in a mister is even more expensive than the one used in this thing.

My point is any FPGA they could get to use in this thing is likely far more than powerful enough to do even the C128 if not even Amiga systems. I can't imagine there are many FPGAs out there which you can still bulk-order that can handle a C64 but nothing beyond that.
