C64x Retro Keyboard Chassis 'Ultra' System with i9-9880H/GTX 1650 board

Quick links to systems:

The "Ultimate" sits slightly below the "Infinity" in the range. The GPU is very similar, the CPU is slower. It is compatible with Commodore OS 2.0 and 3.0 and will have wider compatibility with earlier Linux releases than the Infinity due to its more legacy hardware. It is slightly too complex a build to offer as components.
