We can build your Mini-ITX PC inside a Retro Commodore 64 Keyboard Chassis...
We currently have 2 systems, each progressively more powerful while remaining as quiet as possible:
The Legend II replaces the Starter, Extreme and original Legend Systems.
..or you can build one yourself
If you already have a C64x or just want to build yourself we have all the parts you need.
Legend II and Infinity Systems can be purchased as components. The Legend II has a "Components" option on the configure page. We have a separate page for the Infinity Builders Kit.
Check out the C64x case pages if you just want a chassis - and if you have another Mini-ITX board in mind these pages have detailed compatibility info. We have fresh stock of Original Beige and a special Limited Edition version with RGB and Swappable Key Switches. We're out of stock of the colours for the foreseable future.

Key:
CPU Marks are an industry standard CPU benchmark measure. We give the multi-thread figure. Compatible with Windows 11 (with support). The Legend II is also compatible with Windows 10. Compatible with modern Linux distributions appropriate for their CPUs and chipsets (limited support, we will try our best) Compatible with Commodore OS 2.0 or 3.0 (we can install but no support or warranty, forum support available) Not compatible with Commodore OS 2.0.
"Performance" tries to represent performance as a function of both CPU and GPU power. The 3D effects and desktop experience on the "Legend II" systems is smooth, and they are fanless (some customers put an additional 40mm or 60mm fan directly on top of the heatsink). The "Infinity" has a built-in 780M iGPU which is similar in speed to the GTX1650 of the earlier "Ultra" system, giving them a considerable advantage over the other boards. Represents fan noise. The high-end Infinity systems use powerful mobile CPUs and are much quieter under load than equivalent socket motherboards - ideal for this type of enclosure.
Commodore OS
All systems will run Windows and modern Linux distributions, but for a true retro experience why not install Commodore OS (aka Commodore OS Vision), a community driven free-to-download Linux distribution for Commodore enthusiasts. We can install onto any built system free of charge (supported through the Commodore OS Forum). Commodore OS 2.0 is the current release, and Commodore OS 3.0 is nearly ready!
