Hello!
I read on Habré the history of computer companies from the 80s and the form factor was popular, like Commodore 64 (photo).
Question: Is it now possible to buy computers like the Commodore 64 or build them yourself? It would be a very interesting experience.

So actually you can buy a commodore.
If you are interested in more modern computers, then now there are many single-payers. You can play tricks with the keyboard case and insert a single-board board there.

There are several options:
1) Buy a real chest of drawers on eBay from lovers of antiquity.
2) Buy a remake - a case similar to the original, but inside the RPi with an emulator, HDMI output and other useful things.
3) Try to collect yourself. BUT! In addition to standard logic, RAM and processor microcircuits, which are still produced to this day, they contain custom SID and VIC microcircuits, which have not been produced for a long time and can be found either in the form of soldered microcircuits from parsing, or in the form of emulations on FPGA and microcontrollers of varying degrees. curvature.
If you understand English well by ear, watch the 8bitguy video on youtube, he talks about the first and second options, writes and sells games for them, and it seems like he has several of these clunkers for sale on eBay.
If your love for a soldering iron and an oscilloscope has reached 80lvl, pay attention to the channel Adrian's Digital Basement - the author of the channel repairs this antique.
