That's crazy! The best I've done is a 21" Trinitron Monitor.

A shell still for now, collecting parts. I backed this on Kickstarter from "My Retro Computer"

Voltages are good and nothing has blown up! "lsusb" shows it connected. It's 11.30 PM now and too late to do anything more but after work 'morrow, it's time to get the fpga, usb & pc talking - see if my learnings on EMI, trace lengths (5gb/s usb) and impedance matching has helped with reliability.

Will that took a long time, but it looks OK, mostly hand soldering.

Wish me luck

I've redesigned a FPGA Dev cart #c64. This time I've done a lot of study (ie watch YouTube 😂) on board design, EMI etc etc hopefully fixing some usb 3 drop outs. It's also much more simplified with less functionality that i wasnt using in the end. Will update on progress and pictures later!

In production now, after studying up minimum spacing, which would have made it a lot more expensive. Looking forward to sharing cool things on this #c64 Dev cart.... After this, hopefully something people can buy... eventually😂

Some c64 hardware Dev I think today. Have some random timeouts on the usb front. I'm staying to think that Australian 'she'll be right' hw design doesn't work 100% at 5 Gbit, rando timeouts. this is my second ever pcb design, have learnt so much!!! Even how to reball 😬😂...
yes the fpga survided😎..
