===C64x / My64=== The '''Commodore 64x''', later '''My64''' is a micro-ITX PC in a Commodore 64 "breadbox"-styled case. It was introduced as "Commodore 64x" in 2011 by Commodore USA LLC, but discontinued in 2012 when the company went out of business after the death of its founder. Commodore USA sold it both as a barebones kit, and in a few outfitted configurations. It had a special [[Linux]] distribution called ''Commodore OS Vision'', based on Linux Mint. The case moulds and some stock were later acquired by MyRetroComputer Ltd in the UK. They started making barebones kits available again in 2020 as the "My64" without the Commodore branding. There is also a [[Commodore VIC-20|VIC-20]]-themed ''My Vic20''. The integrated keyboard is built by [[TG3 Electronics|TG3]]. It has [[Cherry MX]] switches and a modernised layout with inverse-T [[cursor keys]] and [[media key]] functions on the grey f-column. It connects to the motherboard via an internal USB header cable. The keycaps are [[Signature Plastics SA family]], [[Spherical keycap|spherical]] but not [[Keyboard_profile#Sculptured|sculptured]] like the original. The case fits a motherboard in mini-ITX form factor but no discrete graphics card. It also fit an internal optical drive, a SD-card reader and a 40 mm cooling fan.
