Apollo Themed Build

[chromeboy42]

Budget and Location: Texas and <$300

Aim: To create a computer with the same power (CPU, RAM, Storage, etc) as the apollo guidance computer had. The size is not important but I would prefer to keep it small and authentic looking.

Monitors: I'd like to pick up a cheap small (<11in) CRT monitor if possible.

Peripherals: old PS/2 keyboard and mouse?

 

For reference to how powerful the Apollo computer was here are some specs:

I don't see why a raspberry pi wouldn't do the job.
