Here comes a little robot guy from Etsy which its arms, legs, head and body are all made from recycled computer parts.
Not a bad choice as a gift for the special geek in your life. The Computer Parts Robot Guy’s eyes are made from an old IBM tape drive, his lovely smile is an old USB 4 port hub, his body is a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk, and lastly arms & legs are recycled computer memory. And it’s mounted to a recycled acrylic stand. Standing it at 7 1/4 inches tall by 3 1/2 wide.
It carries a price tag of $19.99. I think it should be pretty easy for geeks like us to pick up a few obsolete or malfunctioned parts at our work place and glue them up into this little cute piece of artwork. All you need is only the patience.
