Hot on the heels of the ZX81 casemod comes this ZX Spectrum one. The whole thing is made possible by the BeagleBoard, a diminuitive ARM-powered single board computer that runs Linux from an SD card.

The guy behind all this, Technobob reader Brian Smith, went above and beyond the call of duty in this casemod, however, as the original rubber keyboard is fully-functional, and the thing is even wired to run on the Speccy’s original PSU.

The system includes a microphone port, audio out, 4 USB ports, and HDMI for video. Now all I need is for someone to do this with an Acorn Electron and my life will be complete.
