From the "more-than-an-afternoon-project" department, just look at this fantastic MIDIBOX SID, made with 8 Commodore SID chips. Wilba designed custom circuit boards and a gorgeous front panel, and had them professionally fabricated.
SID is the unique sound chip found in the Commodore 64 computer. MIDIBOX SID is an open-source project that uses these ICs (you need to sacrifice Commodore 64s) to make a MIDI-controlled synthesizer. The sounds are amazing.
This article's title is a clickable link to the MIDIBOX message board article with more information and pictures of this amazing homebrew creation.
