Just think, this is what PC's would be like today, if Bill Gates hadn't stolen Ms Dos from IBM, :)

I am working on something similar (with a little different archictecture) in lego

If ever there are plans available for this, I'll need to find out my billiard balls and CNC router right away! Pretty awesome stuff.

Awesome build. Do you have dimensions and possibly a instructable on how to make? Especially considering you're showing it at Maker Fair.

@stdusrname Thanks! This one is almost 4x8 feet in size.
No plans yet. While this one does work, it took a lot of fussing to get it that way. We don't publish instructions about how to make something until we're sure that the plans are *good enough* that someone could easily follow them and expect to make a working machine-- no one benefits when we publish prematurely. Also, we don't normally publish our how-to guides on Instructables, but rather on our own site ( evilmadscientist ).

Why is it that just looking at those two people, I could tell that they were programmers? Oh yeah, they *look and dress like college-age computer programmers*. (eye-roll)
"Dear Programming culture: We get it. You're 'independent thinkers'. Hooray for you. But seriously. Grunge Geek was 15 to 20 years ago. Yeah! 1994 was 17 years ago! So, please adopt a new "nerd-dork" dress code. You all look uncomfortably ridiculous."

@mintchocolatebear Actually, neither of us are programmers. Why is it that people make stupid assumptions and snide comments? Oh yeah, they're just rude commenters on youtube, with *nothing to contribute to society*. (eye-roll)
