Re: Guy spends £40k and builds room size computer to play Tetris
I particularly like this quote:
One of my earliest decisions when embarking on this project was that I would be making circuit boards. On this sort of scale point to point wiring of individual components (there'd be of the order of 100,000 connections) would result in inevitable failure, despair, insanity. Having these boards made represents the largest slice of the cost of the project. Initially I thought I would be doing a small number of very large boards. But that turned out to be bonkers so I've done a lot of little boards.
