I bought Ben's kits and built the 8 bit breadboard computer. It was the most educational experience I've ever had learning computer architecture. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of work though and breadboards are fraught with issues.

The difference between this and the apple-1 though is that Ben's computer is effectively a third gen computer on breadboard, whereas the apple-1 is pure fourth gen. I guess the fair comparison is ben's 6502 kit.
