I also built one some time ago, along with the PiDP-8. They are beautiful
replicas and a joy to work with.

The OSes that come with it are pretty interesting, but the DEC and DEC-like
ones are quite... unique from a modern perspective. You can see the evolution
from OS8 to RT-11 to VMS to CP/M to MS-DOS, with the early ones being
primitive shades of what we have now.
