This is a great video, this guy has built his own computer out of individual transistors: http://www.megaprocessor.com/
And theres a playlist explaining how the theory behind it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFl_8_ ... 9J&index=1

Good videos though.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
