    "Things got out of hand at that point."

    This whopping 16-bit computer processor is being built by hand, transistor by transistor

    Pics A bloke in Cambridge, UK, is building a computer processor using 14,000 individual transistors and 3,500 LEDs – all by hand, piece by piece.
    And you thought building scale models of ships with matchsticks was fiddly.

    Even if he does pull off the massive engineering feat, Mega Processor will need a room large enough to accommodate its size.

    "It needs to go somewhere; my house isn’t big enough for the two of us," he said. "I’d be interested in hearing from someone who could give it a good home."

    I wonder what his wife thinks?
