Check it out, by taking an empty VIC-20 case, a unused C64 case badge, a 64C keyboard and a working C64 motherboard, this Limited Edition Commodore VIC-64C computer was created.

As you can see, no modifications needed to be done for the back lower section of the case, so this could technically be returned to a VIC-20, but why? This is so damn sexy!
Also, this is not an Aldi C64 computer, however for those wondering here’s a little history on the C64 Aldi which this machine sort of looks like:
Externally the Commodore 64 Aldi computer has same case color as a standard C64 but the keyboard is light grey, like the C64G and C64C. Internally the motherboard PCB was redesigned to minimize production costs, most of the TTL chips were removed and replaced with a new MMU chipset.
The C64 Aldi was made in USA, however was only sold in Germany as a game machine through only one distribution channel, a supermarket chain called Aldi, hence the name given by the German 64’er magazine. In 1989, the C-64 Aldi would be replaced by the grey C-64G which would use the same motherboard.
