Recreates an Atari 8-bit computer on a Mini-ITX motherboard with integrated memory, input, mouse, and video upgrades.

The maker publishes schematics, a BOM, production Gerbers, firmware, and PCB source files. The page points to The Brewing Academy for boards and systems, but current assembled stock was not checked in this pass.

Recreates an Atari 8-bit computer for an Atari 1050 case with integrated IDE storage, expanded memory, PS/2 input, video, stereo audio, MIDI, and expansion.

The maker publishes schematics, a BOM, firmware, panel files, and production Gerbers. The project page links to The Brewing Academy for boards and assembled systems; verify current stock on the seller page.

Recreates an Atari 8-bit computer on a compact 4.5-inch motherboard with 576 KB of RAM, PS/2 input, selectable ROMs, and modern daughterboard expansion.

The maker publishes Gerbers, schematics, a BOM, firmware, and case files, and points to The Brewing Academy for assembled systems and boards. The current project page requires a documented oscillator video fix on existing builds.

Combines a new custom Atari 8-bit motherboard, 576 KB of memory, UGV II video, and a refurbished original Atari 130XE case and keyboard.

The exact product page reported sold out on 2026-07-27. The broader collection page disagreed, so check the exact listing for a restock.

Combines a new custom Atari 8-bit motherboard, 576 KB of memory, and monitor output with an original Atari 600XL case and keyboard.

The live Shopify product data and current catalog reported the complete unit orderable on 2026-07-27. It uses a cleaned original Atari 600XL case rather than a newly made enclosure.

Recreates a C64 as a complete FPGA-based keyboard computer with original peripheral interfaces plus HDMI, USB, microSD, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.

On 2026-07-27, the breadbin BASIC Beige model exposed a Buy Now path and regional stock, while the slimline Commodore 64C Ultimate was a paid preorder scheduled for factory dispatch on September 15, 2026. The internal microSD card is sold separately. The externally accessible user port requires a separate adapter. Commodore warns that Ultimate64 and C64 Ultimate hardware and firmware are diverging; unsupported firmware can leave a machine nonfunctional and resulting damage is outside free support, warranty service, and replacement.

Builds a compact x86 computer for late DOS and early Windows 98 with integrated audio, networking, modern storage, and legacy input support.

The official Batch 2 product page reported sold out on 2026-07-27. The public repository provides a build guide and design files. A Vortex86EX SOM and AGP graphics card are required and were sold separately; RetroDreams' exact SOM listing was also sold out.

Recreates the Jupiter Ace as a complete soldering kit with revised video, reset, keyboard, and expansion hardware.

A2Heaven marked the kit out of stock on 2026-07-27. The historical package included the three PCBs, active and passive components, pre-mounted SMD parts, placement and schematic diagrams, documentation, and source material. No separate public fabrication download or current alternative seller was verified.

Provides a portable 128 KB enhanced Apple IIe-compatible system with an integrated LCD, speaker, and microSD-based floppy and hard-disk images.

On 2026-07-27, the 3.2-inch page exposed case choices and an Add to cart control, although another stock marker on the same page said out of stock. The 1.6-inch and built-in-keyboard models were explicitly out of stock. Check the selected variant before ordering. A microSD card and USB power supply are not included. The 1.6-inch model also needs a separately sourced lithium battery and soldering work; its battery must be charged with the emulator switch in the OFF position.

Builds a compact modular IBM PC/XT-compatible computer with an 8088 or NEC V20, up to 640 KB of base RAM, optional upper memory, and 8-bit ISA expansion.

The GPL-3.0 project provides KiCad files, Gerbers, a bill of materials, BIOS, programmable-logic files, and build instructions. Retro Electronics had six bare ENIG PCBs in stock on 2026-07-27; every component and all assembly are excluded. Weird Electronics' board and complete-kit listings were temporarily unavailable while the seller takes a break through August 20, 2026. A separate assembled-board listing had been sold out since May 11, 2026. Weird Electronics sells a Version 1.4 PCB with larger Flash-ROM support, while the repository README documents layouts through Version 1.3; follow the documentation for the board actually supplied.

Recreates several Commodore PET models on a modern single board with a faster 65816, expanded memory, color VGA graphics, USB input, and SD storage.

No current assembled seller was verified. Revision 3.0A has public GPL-3.0 hardware files, but it is an advanced build with fine-pitch surface-mount parts, separately programmed FPGA and boot firmware, and dependencies across several repositories. The family documentation warns that boards, bills of materials, and firmware are moving to newer video timing and says to contact the maker before building.

Runs a purpose-built Macintosh 128K emulator on a Raspberry Pi Pico with monochrome VGA and USB keyboard and mouse input.

Juicy Crumb exposed an Add to cart path for the assembled v2 carrier and an optional in-stock Raspberry Pi Pico on 2026-07-27. Check whether the selected package includes the Pico. A working setup also needs 5 V power, a VGA display or converter, USB OTG cable, mouse, and usually a keyboard or hub. The default flash-backed disk is read-only; writable storage requires a separately built SPI SD-card path. Building firmware from source requires a legally obtained compatible Macintosh ROM and disk image. The community UF2 creator was temporarily offline during this check.

Recreates the 1986 Soviet Radio-86RK home computer on one board with an Intel 8080A, 32 KB of SRAM, integrated keyboard, monochrome composite video, cassette, serial, and parallel interfaces.

The GPL-3.0 repository provides Version 1.4 KiCad files, Gerbers, a bill of materials, monitor and font ROM images, project notes, and archived original magazine material. Weird Electronics' bare-PCB listing was temporarily unavailable while the seller takes a break through August 20, 2026; when active, it includes only the main PCB and two ROM-cartridge PCBs. This is a large through-hole build requiring several vintage Intel 8xxx or compatible chips, 67 key switches, programmed ROMs, and regulated power. The Tindie heading incorrectly calls it an Intel 8088 computer; its own detailed specifications and the project repository correctly identify an Intel 8080A.

Recreates an expandable Apple-1-compatible computer as either a compact single board or a set of functional cards on a backplane.

The GPL-3.0 repository supplies KiCad design files, fabrication exports, schematics, bills of materials, firmware, and assembly guidance. Builders must fabricate boards, source components, solder the computer, program its EEPROM, and load the Arduino Nano interface software. Retro Electronics had one bare backplane PCB, three bare VDU PCBs, and five bare VDU color-amplifier PCBs in stock on 2026-07-27; these are parts of the RC6502 build and do not constitute a complete kit. Early SBC revisions D and E need the documented CPU-power patch wire; the repository's current bill of materials names Revision H.

Recreates the Apple-1 as a buildable 6502 computer with composite video, modern power, and PS/2, adapted USB, or ASCII keyboard input.

ReActiveMicro exposed assembled and kit selectors plus an Add to cart control on 2026-07-27. Supply a 1 A Micro USB power source, composite display, and compatible keyboard; USB keyboards require an adapter. The kit is intended for builders with intermediate soldering knowledge. Some systems powered by supplies with isolated grounds can suffer recurring slash characters and line feeds; the support wiki documents grounding, firmware, resistor, and capacitor remedies.

Reinterprets the Atari 800XL with RISC and FPGA processors, original-style peripheral connections, HDMI, USB storage and controllers, SD storage, and USB-C power.

The maker still says the RM 800XL will be available very soon, but no order, reservation, shipping, or public build path was verified on 2026-07-27.

Builds an integrated modern PET-compatible computer with selectable PET models, accelerated operation, enhanced color video, storage, audio, and current input.

No current assembled seller was verified. Revision 1.3A has public GPL-3.0 hardware files, but a build requires fine-pitch surface-mount assembly, separate FPGA and ROM projects, and programmed devices. The family documentation warns that boards, bills of materials, and firmware are moving to newer video timing and says to contact the maker before building.
