Pretty much any serious vintage computer collector will have the MITS Altair 8800 somewhere on their want list, and I am no different. However, for years I put off buying one due to the price tag, which I thought was crazy years ago and now is just insane. So in the interests of wallet protection, I've purchased a partial, partially built MITS Altair 8800 Rev 0 kit. The idea being to slowly collect missing parts maybe, and then actually put it all together, hopefully avoiding a $5000 price tag, or at least, breaking it up into affordable chunks. At least for now I can say I have an Altair.. sort of.
