A computer hobbyist/genius builds a computer and/or programs their own operating system, throwing in twists and bizarre logic as they go. They may have a specialized purpose, or only be tinkering. The result is inevitably an ugly mess loaded down with buttons but may prove surprisingly powerful. Contrast The Alleged Computer. |

In the The Fairly Oddparents episode "Information Stupor Highway", Mr. Turner builds a new computer using a basket with a light bulb in it for a hard drive, an 80's television for a monitor, a typewriter for a keyboard, and Eddie the Gerbil on a wheel as the power supply. Surprisingly, this makes a fully functional computer. | |

Discworld: Unseen Academy has Hex the thinking engine, which is powered by ants moving through tunnels rather than electrons (hence the slogan "Anthill Inside"). It slowly develops an intellect over the course of the series, asking for and getting more and more parts installed (a ram's skull, a live mouse, a Fluffy Teddy Bear...). | |

Futuristic Violence And Fancy Suits by David Wong features a super-weapon programmed by mad scientists, in code that is unreadable to other programmers and uses languages that 'don't look human'. Once the last of the scientists is killed, the drivers and software become impenetrable. | |

Junk from Denkou Choujin Gridman which houses, tethers and powers Gridman and his assist weapons. Part of its construction includes pistons for some reason. | |

Cyrus Condy's laptop from New Night, which he built in order to communicate with aliens, based on inspiration from nightmares they were beaming into his head at night. The screen is a mishmash of ugly windows, and the language he created for it includes whatever random symbols he could think up to represent the alien concepts he was working with. Bizarrely, when paired with the right hardware, it really can communicate to a galactic network and order services. | |

Richie's computer in the 1980s nerd dramedy Whiz Kids was a cobbled-together, room-filling custom computer—that talked! | |
