Homemade computer

enthusiast Steve Chamberlin (Steve Chamberlin) launched its personal computer project in November 2007 and was able to ensure its stable operation in March 2009. Thus, the project Big Mess O'Wires (BMOW) took a half years. First look at the computer does not reveal anything surprising, motherboard chips dotted with connected I / O ports.

In total, Steve used some 1,250 conductors and about 2,500 contacts.
