Nice quality thick plastic case, little details like a shine-through capslock light really seal the deal. I wish it had USB ports rather than the card reader, but it looks like most any 3.5" panel cou... See more

I got one of there C64 cases

I got one of there C64 cases, i put in an i3 on an Asrock motherboard. It's one of the best retro trips i've taken. It looks like a C64 but they keyboard quality is so way ahead the C64 so it fells like a new computer.

Best of both worlds, i'm now a huge fan of MyRetroComputer LTD.

Best thing is that on an emulator, both "poke 53580,0" and "sys 647382 works just fine! ;-)

Hi Ulf, thank you for your great 5 stars and being a fan!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The case itself is excellent.

The case itself is excellent.
However, implementation of various parts becomes a problem.

Why is the drive tray basically an adapter from normal SATA to slimline?
Why not just have a normal drive bay?

The default for the right side is a hodgepodge of card slots. What really should be there is a nice set of usb 3 ports or maybe usb-c.

The itx my pi kit is a mess. The tolerences are all off.
The usb adapter between a pi and the usb hub is bent funny, as it and the standoffs holding the usb hub above the pi do not match.

the slot for the sd card is way too tight. For that matter, why a full size sd slot? Why not just a simple mirco sd to micro sd extension cable?

again with the whole drive bay slimline connector nightmare.
Just make the black cover a snap in, and make the metal box be a normal drive bay.
Cooling? Fan? Hello?

Maybe put the pi itself on standoffs, so you can actually get an sd card in there.

again, the case and keyboard are amazing, its the extra bits that are really a letdown.

Oh, and the 3d printed air duct thing is an amazing idea, but the shape is a bit off. Just a few degrees really.

Hi John, Thank you for the purchases and feedback. We will have to agree to disagree on the pi kit! I think the best idea would be to have a mini itx pi motherboard that uses a Raspberry Pi Compute Module. I think there was one on Indegogo a while back. Also we are going to sell the usb 3.1 plate that's in the pi kit but with a usb 3 header to plug into the mini itx motherboard.

Fast Customer Service

When I received my My64 case there were sharp plastic edges on the top grill.

After some initial difficulty contacting the company (which Sean acknowledged), sending them proof of the issue was straightforward.

Sean was always polite and apologetic. He quickly processed my RMA in 1 day and I received the replacement case parts the same week.

Fantastic service and even fast shipping. Sean went above and beyond for me and I really appreciate him doing that. So fun to have these commodore-like retro keyboard cases as PCs.

This is an awesome product

This is an awesome product. I cannot wait to start the build. I already own the case and looked through it. This case is built with good quality products. Cherry Blue Keys were a great touch. Nice job....

Unbelievably fast shipping from the UK to the US. I got the case before the components I ordered domestically from another website. Great quality product, very pleased.

FOR I = 1 TO 5: PRINT "THUMBS UP!": NEXT I

Everything about this product (in my case a MyVIC20) is top quality, from the custom made key-caps & Cherry MX-Blue switches to the case itself & drive chassis. Even the box is stunning in quality - impossible not to smile upon unpacking it, especially for those who remember the original from the 1980's! It's hard to believe that my 2021 'VIC20' has over 2 million times the RAM of its ancestor.

The MyRetroComputer YouTube channel and others feature some clear instructional videos to show you what you need in order to build a mini-ITX based machine to suit your own needs & budget.

Sean answered my email queries quickly & clearly and the machine, once my order was processed, arrived 48 hours later, including passing through EU/Irish customs. SMS notifications from the carrier allowed me to pay import duty online quickly and so minimise delays in customs. This was not cheap - but it was worth it to me, as the product will be getting daily use.

These products are high quality and evoke - as others have said - the perfect amount of nostalgia, whilst being equally suitable for retro-gaming/emulation, tech hobbyists, or practical/professional daily use. In my case, a little of each. Thank you, Sean & Team!

Hi Charles, thank you for your lovely 5 star review! I will add this to our site! Glad you like the case and the packaging - a lot of hours went into the design of the artwork for the My64 & My Vic20 and it's wonderful that people appreciate it - i cant even bare to seal the box with clear tape becuse it will ruin the artwork!
