Hacker Oscarv (http://hackaday.io/obsolescence) wanted a PDP-8 mini computer. But buying a real PDP-8 was horribly expensive and out of the question. So Oscarv did the next best thing: he used a Raspberry Pi as the computing engine and interfaced it to a replica PDP-8 front panel (http://hackaday.io/project/4434-pidp-8i), complete with boatloads of fully functional switches and LEDs (http://obsolescenceguaranteed.blogspot.ch/2015/01/new-project-pdp-8i-replica.html).
