I dropped my glass tea bowl while washing it. ::(

Set up a spare rpi with some spare speakers, put a tiny cgi script and some wav files on it, and...

Asking for a mentee: Can anybody recommend a "build your own computer" kit? The low-level, learn-how-computers-work kind; preferably geared towards adults.
