Englishman James Newman has spent £40,000 (R764,000) on a room-sized Megaprocessor that plays Tetris, reports the BBC.
“Newman started work on the “Megaprocessor”, which is 33ft (10m) wide and 6ft (2m) high, in 2012.”
Rather than being a massive computing powerhouse however, it does the job of a chip-sized microprocessor, and is likely to be less powerful than your laptop.
So why is it so expensive?
It contains 40,000 transistors, 10,000 LED lights and it weighs around half a tonne (500kg).
Mr Newman, a digital electronics engineer, started the project because he was learning about transistors and wanted to visualise how a microprocessor worked. The components all light up as the huge device carries out a task.
Even Tetris can be difficult to play, but Newman hopes the Megaprocessor can be used as an educational tool.
