I was reading through his description earlier today (saw the link on the classiccomputers list), yes, very nice. Just about the perfect level of complexity, and the great case and keyboard combo too.

Very nice. I especially like how it incorporates a "modern" keyboard.

The author does a good job of describing how he proceeded through the build. I would think that newbies reading it would soon realize building a basic and working 6502 computer isn't all that difficult.

Thanks for the link. A very nice described project. I like it’s being portable.

It has a SID! :)

Reminds me a lot of the TRS-80 Model 100
