I am going to build a nice atari 800 laptop with custom built case
8inch lcd screeN
compactflash drive as the hard drive
rechargeable bateries

how much do you think I could get for it if I were to sell it(after I build it of course)

thanks

Proper research would include scanning 8-bit Atari computer boards and other classic computing communities to gauge the interest level in the system. When you find people pining for the system, wishing they could have a working one or something, you know you have at least one potential buyer.

sounds like something that is worthless to most, but priceless to few

good luck and god-speed, but find someone who wants to buy it before you make it, else you would wasted your time...unless you just want to make one for yourself, then that is cool
