Guy builds enormous computer, uses it to play Tetris

If you need a computer, you could go to a store and buy one from anywhere between $500 and $3,000. Or you could spend around $53,000 in parts and invest a couple of years into building a gigantic, 1,100 pound, monster-computer that can only perform relatively simple tasks. Your call, totally.

    LOL, "normal-sized transistor". What does that even mean?

    Anyhow, it seems like most of the area is taken up by seven segment displays to show the state of all the registers. I guess that was necessary in order to have any hope of debugging the thing. But it does give you a good look at the inner workings of the processor.

    I think it's really cool when people build stuff like this.

    I remember reading about someone who createda PC with Minecraft...
