Apparently it IS possible to make IC's at home, obviously nothing approaching 5nm transistor gates and therefore the equivalent of lego blocks to precision machined parts... but anyways:

    This stuff is half way up my professional alley and when I read it I had to think about the posts on hackaday the last 2 years which kind of document this new homebrew scene made of madmen.

    I know absolutely nothing beyond the lego-brick level of building and watercooling machines. No EE chops whatsoever... but this stuff is so interesting to me and maybe one day, cost and space no object, having a palatial garage or workshop to muck around in... Just knowing it's possible really is the half of it.
