Valter Psicoff, I'm interested in some older computers than the Power PC Macs. These computers are the so called "home computers". I own an Amiga A1200 with a Motorola 68020 CPU. This Amiga isn't set up to use the Internet, though. Some other computers which people seem to be fascinated with include Atari 8 bit, Enterprise, Memotech MTX, MSX, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. They all had their own style of keyboards, which aren't the same as the layout which started with the IBM PC. It seems that the closest keyboard layouts to the early IBM PC are the Commodore 128, and the Amiga (all models). Just by getting a modern white, off white, or cream USB keyboard, then adding a few stickers, you can recreate either of those keyboards.
The main difference is that a lot of Motorola 68000-68040 MacIntosh computers had built in CRT displays. When a built in CRT display fails, then you've had it! If the display isn't built in, then you can replace it. The replacement display needs to have a compatible plug or some kind of adaptor. I think a good alternative to this would be the emulator BasiliskII, though. I haven't set it up yet, though. If I did this, then I'd have to make do with a more modern Mac keyboard and mouse, though. I've already got the emulator vMac set up, but a lot of games and possibly other software for this are in the old Stuffit format. I can't see how to run Stuffi from inside the vMac emulator and it doesn't seem to run on my Macs under Big Sur or Catalina, though.
