I'd recommend working through Ben Eater's entire 8-bit CPU series (and build one!) It's great fun, isn't too expensive given the other hobbies in these threads and quite relaxing.

The only real caveat is buy nice breadboards. Shoddy power cause a lot of ghosts in the machine and frustrating issues. Don't skimp on the power supply either, mine is pulling down 2-3 amps at 5.2v or so.

I just bought this a few days ago for my buddy's boy (12 years or so). Always wanted it for myself but couldn't justify the cost. Watched all the videos though. Quality stuff.

Loved this one in particular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7rce6IQDWs

Thanks for the tip on the power supply. I still have to source one, I'll make sure it's a decent one.
