FIGnition DIY Computer.

This looks like a fun project, I might buy a kit myself if there not already sold out as the first Ebay batch sold out in just 28 hours.

There's a vid about building the kit here and the guy building it has some nice old stuff. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13201254)

*You know what? I've always wanted to do a Pentium I processor custom something hack-at.
