Potato Power!
via Make

What does an actual server that is powered by potatoes actually look like? Wonder no more as we present to you the world’s first potato-powered web server. You may have trouble connecting to it due to its extremely slow speed (approximately 0.2 hits/second) though.

The server’s running on a PIC16F876 microchip at 76.8KHz with a minimal 1.5V supply of voltage. It can only handle the simplest of instructions, so do not expect to load up Doom 3 amidst your pappy’s potato farm. For a more detailed explanation about its innards, head on here.
