The novelty is in putting this all together into a whole complete system that I can take home and have it work with the TV I own now. Just like in the 1980s when so many C64s were carted home and plugged into tube tvs of all shapes and sizes. Not everyone wants to build a computer from a kit sourced from multiple vendors. I can bolt, screw, snap, plug but am listed as a fire hazard with a soldering iron.
