PDP-8 clone while very unique, isn't historically significant for me.

We have a few examples of systems that are truly homemade. That's a very 
important era which we need to represent. Of these systems, I chose the 
"Dudley 8" because it's physically small (the other two are in racks). 
Granted, it clones a minicomputer. The important representation here is 
to show visitors, "People built the earliest [desktop*] by themselves."

* Not looking for a debate about desktop v. micro v. personal, etc. :)
