I used to have a 2 foot square magnetic core memory board hanging on my wall
for all to see.  I put it in the garage last year so I could hang a
dartboard for stress relief.

I once gave some serious thought to making a painted wall computer like in
John Brunner's - Shockwave Rider :

c_b_7/002-7447929-9854438

Then I got "smarter" and limited myself by figuring out that I couldn't do
it and get any speed/power out of it.  Although you might be able to build a
Beowulf wall...hmmm.... ;-)
