If I ever had to love a PC...

If I ever had to love a PC it might be this one I just stumbled accross (not my video):

The Schneider EuroPC II looks like it could have come right out of the Amiga production line ca. 1988!

Would be a good candidate to put an Amiga motherboard into, or a modern PC motherboard booting straight into UAE.

So it's an XT in a C128/C64 disguise.... run...

Actually, when I first saw it I thought more: C65 !

I could see my self getting excited over having found one, say at a flea market or something. Then after I realized how much I just spent thinking I found a rare Amiga or Atari and ended up with a piece of crap under powered DOS machine, I'd be furious! :)


Yeah, I should have stated in my original post, it's really the design of the case I like.  The PC guts don't thrill me (although an XT is starting to have a little bit of retro interest - but not much).
