I've seen/read stuff suggesting that the Tauon PC-1 could be used as a keyboard with alternative SBCs e.g. Raspberry Pi etc. Are there any plans to sell a barebones Tauon PC-1 to folks that just need the keyboard and the case? I'm keen to try and put an alternative SBC inside a Tauon PC-1, and whilst the price for the whole unit (including the main board and accessories) is very reasonable, I don't need all that extra stuff i.e. mouse, PSU etc.
I love the Tauon PC-1 concept BTW ... there's something about the '80s style keyboard computers, and it's great that someone has started making a modern computer in this form factor.

Hello,
thank you very much for your feedback.
In first we were planning to sell just casings, but the thing is that the discount we can make in this case would be just about 15 USD, with the shipping price being almost the same.
So this doesn't make too much sense.
You can use casing for your project and use the board for another purpose with separate keyboard and mouse, or gift it to the friend with the kid.

Thanks for the reply.
I figured there wouldn't be a huge financial incentive to offer a keyboard-only variant, given how inexpensive the whole machine is. Extra mice, PSUs and SBCs are always handy to play with too. 
Cheers.
