  When it's done, I hope he  mounts it all on a
black rectangular table with
 20 shiny metal legs on  each the opposing longer sides. 
I seem to remember that the  Packard-Bell PB250 used only about 400 
transistors. (Magnetostrictive  delay line memory).  Lotsa diodes.

So not totally out of the  question, even  today.
