It would be a good idea to make it possible use of the old periferals,
also with a external box USB compatible.

It would indeed. I'm beginning to think my breadbox C64 is dead - I
don't have spare bits lying around to test it and its behaviour is
quite random at the moment (see earlier thread, I thought RAM, others
thought some of the other chips might be dead). I may end up getting
another, in which case I may well turn the dead one into a mini-itx
server. Not sure yet, sounds verging on the sacrilegious to me and
depends how repairable others might find it, but if it's dead and
scrappable then it might be interesting to see it as a low-powered
Linux box.

If the chassis is an *exact replica* as they claim, you could just
replace the innards with a true C64 motherboard and have yourself a
brand new looking C64. :^)
