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.

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.
