Deep respect for the transparency around cost

As someone who purchased one of the X16 bundles for $500, I have

woohoo! new 8bit guy video

For every naysayer I'm willing to bet there are a thousand fans who don't really comment much but are rooting for you and the X16. Rock on David

Thanks for the shout out! It’s exciting to see those keyboards boxed up, and the computer in a factory. Keep up the good work Commandos! Your friend in retro, Perifractic

The "evidence," he shows literally says, "Requirements for Dream Computer," and "Cost around $50"

Aren't these suppose to be open hardware? Why aren't the kicad/eagle files available or at least the gerber files? Only the VERA module has schematics available it seams.

Hey where can I buy one?

You know you will always have some haters! I am not sure how anyone could hate this? Probably people that sell old systems on Ebay for $2000?!?!?

Why no 16 bit isa slots

Jeri Ellsworth is the engineer that designed a clone of the C64 that fitt on a single chip for the "C64 Direct-to-TV." - a C64 in a joystick.

While the $500 price tag was too expensive for my budget, I'm super happy to hear that later prices will be cheaper. I really want to get my hands on my own system! Thanks again for all this hard work

David this whole channel is a personal project. Don’t worry about what subjects people want to see you cover, just do what you’re passionate about and we’ll watch. Many of your videos I didn’t watch until months or years later because I didn’t find the subject interesting. But when I finally got around to watching I enjoyed it, because you enjoyed making it.

In this video: David explains how he’s suffering from success. 😂 Big W!

Great job, man. Anyone who has been in production knows how initial goals often turn out to be unrealistic, but let's be honest here: you set out to build a brand new computer and you did it. I'm proud to have followed you on this journey.

Happy to see you took our advice and sought out a manufacturer that had all of the proper production equipment. You'll get a superior product in the end.

I'm only partway through the video, but I am glad that you got a manufacturing partner to actually put those boards together. The solder dipping station was probably an interesting learning experiment, but this machine is getting to a scale where it really makes a lot more sense to do it that way!

As a SNES cart orderer who kind of forgot that he did, I appreciate the update! I will stay tuned to all the videos for any other random announcement but otherwise thank you so much for all your effort!

Beautiful! I just love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for being a good role model for this generation, showing how it’s done, with real work and collaboration.

I followed the X16 project from the start, and I'm honestly incredibly impressed how a bunch of retro computing enthusiasts managed to develop an entire platform and were able to produce actual units! If this doesn't speak of the potential lying in the X16 as well as the retro computing community. I hope I can buy one some time in the future, but at the moment I'm just way too broke.
