Choosing among these computers peripherals comes down to a basic question: do you need a practical HDMI connection, a vintage machine project, or a standalone 8-bit computer to explore? These options serve very different purposes, and their listed prices run from USD 48.44 to USD 299.99. The right pick is less about finding a single winner than matching the item to the kind of setup or project you actually have in mind.
Quick take
- For HDMI-equipped devices: The AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK is a five-pack of 10-foot High Speed HDMI cables with male connectors at USD 48.44.
- For vintage-computer restoration or parts work: The National MSX CF-2000 package includes a joystick and RAM cartridge, but its condition is listed as for parts or not working.
- For a ready-built discrete-logic computer: The Gigatron TTL 8 Bit Homebrew Computer is listed as new and fully assembled at USD 299.99.
- For the two AddOn entries: Both state the same HDMIHSMM10-5PK model, USD 48.44 price, new condition, A/V cable type, and UPC 821455059197.
Listed-price comparison
| Item | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK Video Cable - first entry | USD 48.44 | |
| AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK Video Cable - second entry | USD 48.44 | |
| Junk National MSX CF-2000 Personal Computer + Joystick + RAM Cartridge Japan | USD 208.00 | |
| Fully Assembled Gigatron TTL 8 Bit Homebrew Computer w/ MS Basic WozMon Apple 1 | USD 299.99 |
The price positions reflect different item types rather than like-for-like alternatives: the AddOn entries are cable packs, while the National and Gigatron entries are computer-focused hardware.
Decision matrix
Pick the AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK when you need multiple HDMI-to-HDMI connections. Its description calls out five cables, 10-foot lengths, two male HDMI connectors per cable, HDMI 1.4 High Speed operation with Ethernet, and support for full 1080p at a 120Hz refresh rate.
Pick the National MSX CF-2000 when the appeal is a 1980s National MSX machine from Japan, plus the included joystick and RAM cartridge. Its stated for-parts-or-not-working condition makes it a project-oriented choice rather than the straightforward option for immediate computing.
Pick the Gigatron when the key attraction is a fully assembled TTL 8-bit homebrew computer built from discrete logic. The description names Gigatron ROM v6 and Babelfish Keyboard Encoder v2, along with BASIC interpreters, games, graphics demos, and Apple-1-style computing environments.
Product notes
Junk National MSX CF-2000 Personal Computer + Joystick + RAM Cartridge Japan
Choose the National MSX CF-2000 if you specifically want a National-branded MSX computer package with a joystick and RAM cartridge. At USD 208.00, it is positioned as a vintage-hardware purchase for someone interested in the CF-2000 model and its 1980s context. The important limitation is direct: its condition is listed as for parts or not working. The description also states that an AV cable is not included and notes age-related wear. That combination makes the package most suited to collectors, tinkerers, or people assembling a period-specific MSX project rather than someone seeking a ready-to-use system.
AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK Video Cable - first USD 48.44 entry
This AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK entry makes sense when several HDMI runs are needed rather than just one. The USD 48.44 package is described as five 10-foot or 3-meter HDMI cables, each with male connectors, for HDMI-enabled devices such as HDTVs and Blu-ray or DVD players. It is also described as a High Speed HDMI 1.4 cable with Ethernet and full 1080p support at 120Hz. Its limitation is inherent to the bundle format: it is a five-cable pack, so it is aimed at multi-connection setups. The listed type is A/V Cable and the condition is new.
AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK Video Cable - second USD 48.44 entry
The second AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK entry carries the same USD 48.44 price and the same stated specifications: a new five-pack of 10-foot High Speed HDMI 1.4 cables with Ethernet, male HDMI connectors, and 1080p support at 120Hz. It is a practical fit for connecting multiple HDMI-enabled components where longer cables are useful. As with the other AddOn entry, the limitation is that this is a five-pack rather than a single cable. The matching model number, hdmihsmm10-5pk, and UPC 821455059197 make this the same clearly identified cable configuration.
Fully Assembled Gigatron TTL 8 Bit Homebrew Computer w/ MS Basic WozMon Apple 1
The Gigatron is the focused choice for someone drawn to an 8-bit homebrew computer built from TTL logic rather than a cable accessory or repair project. Its USD 299.99 listed price is the highest in this comparison, but it is described as fully assembled, with no soldering or assembly required. The description highlights Gigatron ROM v6, Babelfish Keyboard Encoder v2, games, graphics demos, BASIC interpreters, and Apple-1-style computing environments. The main limitation is its USD 299.99 price position, especially compared with the USD 48.44 AddOn cable pack. Choose it for the discrete-logic computing concept, not for general HDMI connectivity.
Final recommendation by use case
For a multi-device HDMI setup, choose either USD 48.44 AddOn HDMIHSMM10-5PK entry. For a vintage MSX-centered parts or restoration project, choose the USD 208.00 National MSX CF-2000 package. For an assembled TTL 8-bit computer with the Gigatron software environment described, choose the USD 299.99 Gigatron.
