I haven't heard of these projects. Do you have a larger list of projects that exist?

Subject: Reproduction micros
I'm probably dreaming, but is anyone aware of DIY efforts or business
ventures aiming to reproduce a classic micro or "next-gen" classic micro?
I have seen a lot of efforts, but only one quite like that (the Altair 680
project
nails it). I'm just thinking that with 3D
printers and FPGA hardware
emulation
it's probably not as hard as it once was.
Here are some similar efforts I'm already aware of.
Project BreadBox (dead)

The truly kick ass MIST. A nice clone of several systems implemented in
FPGA,
but design wise, it's a shabby little metal
box. I have one and I think it
really
rocks. I just wish there were more cases and
accessories.

The Firebee ST clone project

The C64 Joystick clone

Commodore.net used to sell PeeCee C64 and Amiga look-a-like clones dead

The C-One. A FPGA board to emulate the C64, again no case.

The awesome Altair 680 kit that appears to be a very complete clone of the
system. It comes with a case et al.

A bunch of PDP-X replicas in FPGAs with various degrees of usefulness

These guys are trying to build a NEW Amiga with backward compatibility.
Sounds like a wonderful project. They seem to be pretty far along with
many
prototype boards built. FPGA guts with a real
060' for CPU! They never
seem
to have made boards for sale, though, and there
was no effort toward a
complete system design (case, keyboards, etc...). The last noise they made
seems to be in 2007.

For consoles there are plenty of clones:

Then there is the Cray1 remake
