With the recent revival of a PDP-1 hitting the news, I was wondering if we're going to see a revival in hand-made computing - i.e. systems you really can build yourself from raw components. It seems feasible to me - an ex-boss once impressed me highly by unveiling a full-blown computer he'd made from some recycled relays, and while it wasn't going to kick any ass in the speed department, it was certainly capable of calculating my 6-year olds' homework.

Would be great to see a kit computer, of this scale of old-school, hit the scene some day .. I wonder if it would be viable? I'd certainly buy it .. it'd fit next to my rack-mount modular synth. ;)
