 8-> I picked up a couple large lots in the late 90s with a ton of Commodore
 8-> equipment. I actually have a few 128D's, SX-64s, and more. 128's are
 8-> beasts, I haven't run into a bad one yet. A bunch of 64's with bad
 8-> chips of course.
 8-> I have looked at picking up a Checkmate case but I am more into
 8-> original unmodified devices. I know there is a big push enhancing retro
 8-> computers but I think that takes away the joy.

If you do decide to do a mod...such as putting one of these into a PC case or
such...there are 3D printed mounting items available. For instance...put my
MiSTer into a one piece Commodore inspired case. Have also printed out some
mounts for the MiSTer as well. 

Here's the original plans I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4721208 .
Biggest difference is I found some newer plans which use the buttons/lights
without doing remote wiring. My keyboard is black...top is silk purple...with
the botton done in a transparent filament. The buttons are in yellow/red/green
filaments.
