I kinda miss those desktops.
When I had the C64 I had a box full of C64 parts. Keyboards, chips and whatever to keep em going. I installed buttons so I can reset the C64 or the drive with a press.
When they first came out they ran hot and had a short life. I fixed mine by putting heat sinks on the chips. Commodore later installed heatsink/shield combo on the 64s.
When I got a 286 with a monochrome monitor and floppy drives I had to insert a dos disk to boot up. I thought I had to give up Commodore 64 for this ??
Nevertheless I stuck with it even though they cost more to buy and use. I was getting my parts from the Air Force base surplus store and Goodwill.
