TheC64 | X-Windows Mod
TheC64 is an ARM based, re-implementation of the Commodore 64 in it’s approximate original package to include a full-sized, working, keyboard but instead of the original ports, it is adorned with HDMI, and USB ports. The power switch is not the toggle switch that cuts the power but rather a push-button soft witch with additional functionality.
Since its underpinnings are Linux, there is a kind of non-destructive "modification" you can do to take advantage of some of the Linux goodness that supports this device.
