Is this a joke? Looks pretty but $564? Who would want one?
Given what's inside and the limited-run nature of the unit, I don't think it'll be much less, the completely random gdgt pricing aside.
It's not something I'd be interested in. I like retro as much as anyone else, but it has to have learned the lessons of the intervening period - and as such, recasing a bottom-feeder PC in an near-as-dammit exact replica of the case doesn't mean anything to me.
A modern interpretation of something like the Sharp X68000, or one of the other more radically styled computers of the 80's would be interesting.
