Lego Computer

Hehehe, I like it: http://home.hawaii.rr.com/chowfamily/lego/

It's surprisingly small as well. I bet the lego cost another $50 though.

That is precisely the way to go if you have any interest in knowing what's under the hood. Write every single byte of code for yourself, eventually. Not necessarily a Lego, but some small, simple single-board computer. Don't mess with it if you have no interest in that, of course.
