@[email protected] while I have a strong nostalgic feeling for the #NMS8250 because it's what I grew up with, I do think the design of that 'pizzabox' is rather lackluster. It's not that different from the #Sanyo #MPC25 aka #Wavy25 it was based on though: https://www.msx.org/wiki/Sanyo_MPC-25

The earlier #NMS8235 and #NMS8245 looked much nicer imho. Though there's something to be said for having a separate keyboard you can easily replace and a main case you can shove underneath, or on its side next to, your monitor.
