Modder Details Awesome Retro Frankenstein Commodore 64 Built From Scratch
If you're reading this HotHardware, chances are good that you're someone who enjoys getting information from written articles as opposed to just videos. It's also likely that have enjoyed computing as a topic in general for many years. If those two things are true, you might just be in the target audience for Celso Martinho's article about building his "Frankenstein 64."
It's a pretty slick system that he built. It's functionally a Commodore 64 from 1982, so don't expect to see it running Windows, or anything. Still, if you're a fan of the classic 8-bit computer, there's a lot to love with the Frankenstein 64. From its original brown keycaps to the clear reproduction casing (made from the original Commodore molds), it's a labor of love from the ground up.
Obviously, we're not going to re-tell the whole story here. If you'd like to read about the process of custom-building your own C64 for fun, you can head over to Celso's blog and read the whole detailed report on his wonderfully painstaking process.
