Electrocuter1 was the first computer that I built myself, back in 1999. It’s so old that the shops I bought the parts from are no longer around.

I don’t use this computer very much now, because it’s slow

The name comes from the fact that the case cover is always off. However, I did once envision a security system that would give electric shocks when the computer was stolen or tampered with, and that could also be considered a reason for the name.
