Based on the blueprints and studio files from the 1967 movie.

Trigger HAL's speech by talking to him or by pressing a button on most IR remote controls.
Did we mention this is frickin' HAL 9000?
Rotate the lens ring to activate.

HAL 9000 in my own house? Great, another thing that won't do what I tell it to do.

The designer of this product seems to think a camera/mic/speaker from a HAL 9000 is the HAL 9000 itself. It is no more the HAL 9000 than your keyboard and monitor is your computer. A better representation of the HAL is when Dave is pulling chips from it's core. That room houses most of the HAL 9000.

It's the same as when I ask a customer over the phone what kind of computer they have. "It's a Viewsonic." "No. That's your monitor..."

Well, at least it would be easier to cool a mainframe in your house, rather than the poor radiation of a vacuum.
Seriously, who builds a server in space?

Believe it or not, it is currently out of stock. Who says the economy is struggling?

You know, for $500, it ought to have a better speaker inside. This HAL seems to be phoning it in from Moonbase Alpha.

@misry: I was going to say $500.00 for a 20' shipping container sized Super Computer is a great deal but they are only selling a replica of one of the remote optical & voice interfaces... Batteries, an LED behind a lens and prerecorded messages...

"Sorry Dave I can not let you watch TV tonight!"

In all fairness, it does include a nine volt battery so to quote Carl Spackler "I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
