Wow! That was both cool and humbling.

/me suddenly feels very outclassed. "Um, yeah, so I added some ram to my laptop once, and I've changed the hard drive a couple of times. *cough*"

[vambo]

Gives the phrase "I'm building a new rig" a totally different meaning!

[Sunforge]

It give you pause for thought about the sheer complexity of a modern PC and how on earth any OS runs *most* of the time without collapsing into a heap on your hard drive.

In case you're itching to build one of these nifty minicomputers as your next weekend project, you can download complete schematics and BOMs (bills of materials) from the Magic-1 website.

cool - it's like a whole open source computer!:)

There's more about Magic-1 to be found here:

Looks like he's running the magic-1 web site from his hand built computer.

Really - that's just showing off!

The image is a spoof, it's actually a computer from a submarine. It was never a prediction of home computers of the future.

Dang and I just went and ordered one too.

And it's actually a pretty doctored photo, too. The typewriter/keyboard, the monitor, and the man standing there were all added. The photo itself was originally in color, and it's a control center for a decommissioned sub sitting in some museum somewhere. That doesn't make it any less hilarious.
