The NABU computer is a great deal. You can buy one directly from [http://www.pellmill.com/](Pell Mill) and with efforts made by DJ Sures and others at https://nabu.ca there is a thriving infrastructure and community around it. Its z80 based and capable of running CP/M. From there you can run the MSX emulator and play many MSX games.

Just curious, what does one need to get started with this thing? Probably more then what comes in the box? Looks interesting that's for sure.

Holy cow that's terrible. What you end up collecting is really a very personal decision. You can focus on a time era, a specific architecture, an OS, a manufacturer. What are you interested in?
Honestly, I'm interested in 8 bit, I've played with other stuff and it seems to familiar. The NABU mentioned was a lot of fun in the emulator last night. I want something I might learn some asm on. The commodore was a strong condenser until last night, that's for sure.
EDIT: also, yes, fires are aweful. Don't recommend them. They mean dealing with... Insurance... Banks... Other evils.
