I picked up a 4GB/64GB Up Board recently, specifically to build a bartop cab with LB and MAME.

I saw a review for the Up Board on YouTube where it was mentioned that you can buy Windows 10 license keys on ebay for cheap.

I was able to buy a Windows 10 Pro OEM key for $16 CAD. I was skeptical but the seller had a perfect rating with hundreds of sales. The key was sent to me via ebay message within a few hours. It worked. I'm happy.

About 20 years ago I built my first computer for around $6,000 CAD. It was a Pentium 100 with 16MB of RAM.

This little Up Board SBC runs circles around it. It could actually replace a desktop PC most day to day tasks and it's great with LaunchBox and MAME.

Imagine where we'll be in another 20 years!
