Long ago (1980!), Sinclair Research introduced the ZX80 computer. In it's own way, it was a marvel of engineering, bringing a real computer to the home for a low price.
I remember seeing the original announcement and lusting over one...
And a few years later, I had some spare money and bought a ZX81 kit. (Didn't work out, though... the PC boards were not solder masked and I wound up with an unfixable solder bridge across a number of traces...)
Today, you can build one yourself.
Or do what I did a couple of years back -- buy one (complete with memory expansion pack) at a computer flea market for a couple of bucks. But building it yourself has a much higher geek factor...
Just remember that you need an analog TV for display...
