My Retro Computer Ltd Reviews 

Gotta love Brexit. My C64 cases are at customs now since 1st Feb. You should have sent them via Ireland.

The generic: Shipped in a timely manner, and shipping was pretty quick, especially going from the UK to the west coast of the US. Well packaged, arrived in perfect condition. Excellent!

Specifics: I have lamented for years not getting one of the barebones kits from Commodore USA when it was an ongoing project. After it folded nearly over-night, I thought my chance was gone for good, and while I would periodically go hunting for them on ebay etc., they seemed to be completely non-existant. Apparently those who did purchase them were not letting go of them!

A month or two back I came across a video on YouTube from MyRetroComputer, and discovered that they were now in ownership of the back stock, design, etc. and were once again selling the 'barebones' kits! This was when I learned (or perhaps re-learned after forgetting) that the founder of Commodore USA had passed away, leading to the untimely demise of the company. Obviously I was ecstatic to see someone with passion for that vision was reviving the project, and was happy to support them when I could afford to.

A note - they really aren't kidding about the tight tolerances and component selection! I ordered one pico - style PSU - that didn't fit. Waiting on two other variants, that I hope WILL fit. May also be that my motherboard is a bit chunky (Hope not!) - but this is in no way the case nor MyRetroComputer's fault - it is the price of being 'adventurous' with my build. If it works though, I will have an 8 core/16 thread Ryzen cpu (Still at 65w TDP, I DID follow that spec very thoroughly!) with 32 gigs of RAM and a lovely, LOVELY cherry blue keyboard all crammed into a C64 breadbin. While the breadbin design is actually one of my least favorite retro computer designs (and I do have an entire basement full of them to play with!) it is incredibly iconic, and makes a beautiful modern all-in-one, thanks to the current crop of insane silicon offered by AMD (which, incidentally, was not available until well after C-USA was no more.)

All in all, I cannot thank MyRetroComputer enough for bringing back this amazing product, and I look forward to seeing where they take the concept in the future! I also look forward to purchasing another one or two, as the small form factor and amazing keyboard built in make this a perfect solution for places I might normally stick a laptop - my electronics workbench, for example - or my Ham radio shack. Did I mention that the box is gorgeous, and looks right at home amongst my collection of 80's era computrons?

TLDR; The quality, fit & finish, and value are all incredible. Considering the cost of a decent case, not to mention the cost of a good mechanical keyboard (Yes, I know that you can now find cheap mechanicals under 50 USD online, and even those are way better than rubber dome anything) and this is an absolute steal!

Unfortunately no reaction to two messages on the web site, maybe just bad timing. Went ahead and bought two cases. Order has been shipped very quickly, but now seems stuck in transit from UK to EU.
Let us see what next week brings, still hopeful that DHL will contact me and certainly will charge me the 20% import tax/VAT...

This is a truly marvellous product. The VIC 20 case and feel of the keyboard is just brilliant - its like being transported back in time and yet the inner workings can be of your choice. Excellent communication from Sean at Retro Computers and the order to doorstep experience is just perfect. The product arrived in really good packaging and was brilliant to build. My son and I are in Retro heaven with our VIC 20 case

I purchase the My64 Computer Case, now there was import fees and i live in canada but when it got here, man its better then i thought, its made very well, i cant wait to install the pc parts and start showing it off

Now i can build my dreamcomputer, use c64 and amiga, and play retroarch.

This guy is doing an amazing job continuing what CUSA had started. Products are awesome, the shipment is unbelievable fast and the communication with the seller is immediate.

High quality computer case and unbelievable fast delivery considering I almost ordered it right before Christmas.

I ordered a My64 after stumbling upon myretrocomputer. I'd origionally been looking for a simple retro styled pc case to build for fun and it blew away my expectations. The design of the case, the box art, and all my interactions with the good folks at the company were amazing, and the product shipped from the UK to Dallas, TX in 2 days. I've had slower shipments from within the state even.

Wonderful product to bring back the nostalgia of the 80s and being able to use with modern hardware and software.

Wonderful experience: great service and support.
The company is very friendly and there's a "human touch" in every notice/update.
The product is very well designed and built and the shipping was great (even if they encountered some delivery time due to force majeure but still, they applied a discount due to the issue, great!).
Even after the delivery they continue to support me and sent me some stuff for free to achieve my build.
I'm absolutely satisfied and happy to met them and I happily suggest to buy their products or to contact them before buy to receive any kind of info and support.
They're great, really!

Nicely built case that was delivered super quickly. I am very pleased.

If you grew up with a Vic-20 or C64 then this is AMAZING. This is the my-little-pony of itx cases for middle aged men with reclining hairlines and a mid life crisis. It looks just like my first computer – the Vic-20 – and you can fit an itx board in it! What’s not to like?

The only difference between the Vic-20 and C64 models is the color. Next to my original and now yellowish Vic-20 this new one looks almost paper white but I think it is quite close to how the original looked 35+ years ago. The function keys however are orange while the original had brownish ones. Still, it is obvious that this is a Vic-20 replica and the orange makes the case look more interesting and even more retro as it reminds me of 1970s’ terminals and calculators with orange buttons. The actual shape of the case is spot on, even the opening for the back plate and the 40mm fan is made to look similar to the openings on the original case.

At a first glance the keyboard looks like the original since the keyboard retains a similar outer shape as the original. When you look closer you notice significant differences as they have fitted modern buttons such as ctrl, alt and real cursor buttons on the same row as space. As a European used to an ISO layout with that large inverted L-shaped enter button this ANSI inspired layout is difficult to use but then again the breadbox design is unergonomical anyway and this is not going to be my primary computer.

The marketing images show USB and memory card slots on the right side of the device. My device came with just a ventilation grill and a hole for mounting the barrel jack for a PicoPSU power connector and I think that makes more sense. I dislike the power led that acts as a power button and wish they could have retained an original style switch. I still remember how that V shaped button felt agains the tip of my finger and how it felt to flip it on and off. And it would have been nice with metal inserts in the screw holes.

All in all, however, this is a wonderful niche product and I am happy someone has gone trough the trouble of bring it to market.

The build quality is amazing on this case. Getting the right Mini ITX board and cooling/heatsink is really easy. These guysz delivered my case super quick. I highly reccomend the case to anyone

The My64 is a fun device and the people are very friendly.

I love this case! BEAUTIFUL!!! And that wasn't all that imressed me - the shipping speed was incredible. Even in the USA, I had my new case a few short days after I placed my order - and I got an apology from their customer service for a day's delay! Top notch experience!
