C64 Case based MIDI Box

This sweet C64 case based MIDI controller is definately an inspiration to make some cool MIDI box. I may have to call on all my engineering resources... (uhhhh, friends from MIT) who can help fab a sweet box. For the MIDI guts, would probably go with a Doepfer Pocket Electronics kit - fairly simple, minimal soldering, up 16 controllers. I'm ready to tweak those phat knobs (that sounds like some nasty gear porn)
