Recently an entire C64 was built from scratch using modern parts, I think there were some FPGAs involved. It's unfortunate that the design is so brittle (maybe good idea to mod a protective shutter), but I wouldn't worry about future repairability.

Also TIL that C64OS is a thing. Maybe C64 is the design we should be looking into when considering permacomputing.

Absolutely the C64 is a thing for permacomputing, haha.

There is also the evo64 project which rebuild the c64 with modern parts.
