You could do all your computing on a lightweight MacBook Air, but a real manly man would use this computer that’s so beefy that it could smash your lightweight girly-man system into a fine pulp.
Hand-forged from steel by an honest to goodness blacksmith, Vulcanus is one bad mofo of a PC. Created by Czech builder Sergej, the Vulcanus will crush all other computers that stand in its way.
Inside and out, the PC is constructed from hammered steel parts that each probably weigh more than your measly little laptop.
I especially love the hand-hammered bolt details and oxidized metal finishes.
All told, the finished Vulcanus weighs in at over 110 pounds, or about 5 times the heft of your average full sized tower PC. The last time I remember a computer that weighed this much was the original Mac Portable.

That is an awesome handcrafted piece of technology! Seriously… and weighing a whopping 110 pounds. I wonder if they would do this to a cell phone, if they could combine this with the Motorokr that would be crazy. Like carrying a brick in your pocket.

And here I am, typing in on my dinky little Acer Aspire One ultrportable, feeling– well, genuinely (and probably rightfully) and thoroughly intimidated. And scared for my life.
