the idea is that the computer would not have an terminal. it would have the shape of a half slab. the only indicator is a little led on the block texture. it would have an interface with an start, stop, reset and a reboot button. also a little text thst gives the status. the status could only be "running", "crashed" or "stopped". it would not have a hard drave and the only way to store data is to put in a floppy disk. it would mount the floppy disk to the main directory. it would however have acces to the rom foler( read only of cource ).

please let me know what you think.

thx for reading,

Why would you ever use this over a normal computer?

Yea… A normal computer is insanely cheap.

because it costs less recources and it lookes neat :3
and i just like the idea of having a little computer without interface. for example as a router for networking. you dont need an interface, just little box that does stuff

cheaper to make maybe?

Though a server type thing (built-in modems and more default storage) would be kind of cool, no idea what you would use it for other than as a more compact computer lol.

Then why not make all the things half slabs? That would be BEAUTIFUL! [/sarcasm]

IF you want it to look cool then just make a texture pack for it.
