LOL, I've got a breadbin style C64 in the loft, I'm undecided if I 
should leave it as is (it's dead), bung a MiniITX board in there or wire 
up one of those C64 joysticks to it.

The wife isn't too happy though with my 'collection of junk'.  Well it's 
not really a collection as such, certainly not along the lines of the 
Museum Of Computing, I've got a VIC20, dead C64, Acorn Electron and a 
Speccy, oh and a few games consoles.
