Oh, brings back memories of seeing these in Popular Electronics and Kilobaud magazine when I was little. My how things have changed since then.
Altair 8800 replica kit. Cory Doctorow:
Check out these amazing replica Altair 8800 kit, composed all new (or new-old stock) parts, with the original instructions for assembly. The Altair 8800 was the microcomputer ancestor of the PC -- the computer that inspired the PC revolution. It was -- to some approximation -- the first useful computer that you could build and run in your home workshop. Regrettably, these kits are only sold on eBay, making them a pain to acquire, but the idea is just fantastic, and it sounds like the build-quality is terrific.
