Hmm... Could you combine these boards with these newly-pressed cases [1] to get yourself some completely new C64s?

Yes. The newly pressed cases are the original molds from Commodore for the C64C, and that model C64 can accommodate any C64 mainboard. Since this new Ultimate-64 is compatible with C64 cases, in turn it's also compatible with these newly pressed ones.

You'd also need a keyboard. So...I'm more likely to hit up eBay for a broken complete unit (though I just browsed, and found none with all their keys!). Then again, a red or blue C64 sounds kinda amazing.
