Homemade CPU

>HyperlogiK< · Mar 1, 2009

This is awesome, the guy built his own homebrew computer, including a CPU made from a breadboard and a bunch of discrete logic chips. The best part is where he comments that he must "Keep the hardware complexity to a minimum" because "I’m not an electrical engineer." While I was at uni I knew plenty of electrical engineering Masters and PhD students who would probably have struggled to complete elements of this project.
