Behold: the glorious purple breadbin of The Antipodes!

Having spent weeks making renders of these, to have the real thing sat on my desk is both strange and wonderful.

Amazing job on the badges by @badgeman.bsky.social - really the icing on the cake.

i got mine this morning (clear) and the mech keyboard.

no excuse now to build one of @peepouk.bsky.social c64 pcb’s to go in it

dantootill.bsky.social•180 days ago

Do it. I have two complete clones built with Rob's boards, but they are in Dallas cases and I'm loathed to dismantle either of them.

Love the purple 👌

daputz.bsky.social•180 days ago

is this a new case or a paint job?

dantootill.bsky.social•180 days ago

It's a new case. This company reverse engineered new injection moulds and the end result is outstanding.

They have a few for sale but they won't last long:

the price is OMG but the quality looks amazing from the pictures.

dantootill.bsky.social•180 days ago

Yes they are about half as much again as the new C64C cases from iComp, but these are the remaining stock from the Indiegogo. There will be probably be another run next year, but they will be mostly translucent colours I understand.

OMG, I've got some black keycaps, with blue special keys and I was going to replace my breadbin brown C64C case wit a black one, but I have to say, a black C64 case would look particularity special with my Ultimate 64! I've got a very early version of the MechBoard64 too. They're excellent....

Did it come that way, or did you paint it? It looks really stunning, I hope it runs well!

dantootill.bsky.social•180 days ago

Came that way, it was an Indiegogo that started back in June:

Wow, this looks so cool! I am jelly xD

nickyramone.bsky.social•180 days ago

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!! Breathtaking!

kolliretro.bsky.social•180 days ago

Fascinating! Back then I thought that the VIC20 and C64 cases looked sooo old fashioned. Likes things from the early 70s. Now when I see this (and the light blue C64 from Noel) I think Commodore should have dared more. They look great! 🤩

u4ria.bsky.social•180 days ago

Some clear/smoke keycaps would make it look stunning. Deep Purple edition C64.

stuart1758.bsky.social•180 days ago

Absolutely stunning! If only they did an Amiga 1200 case in the same hue of purple!

emceebois.bsky.social•180 days ago

Genuinely gorgeous. Amazing color, and goes great with the existing rainbow logo and black keyboard keys.

badgeman.bsky.social•180 days ago

Woooh amazing! 💜 Expecting my blue and crystal one soon! Merry Xmas! 🎄🕹️

alexmartinelle.bsky.social•180 days ago

Very pretty 😍 and I usually prefer the C64C style 😀
What type of cart is the one
in the middle behind the case?

dantootill.bsky.social•180 days ago

It's for the Speccy. ZX Dandanator MTD, same as Dandanator Mini but with built-in Multiply and dual (switchable) ROMs.
