ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing and assembling a computer system from modular parts that are vertically stacked relative to one another. Each module has a predetermined geometrical configuration and interlocks only with other modules of the same geometrical configuration. Computer components are housed within modules of predetermined geometrical configuration so that a consumer purchasing a computer system by purchasing modules need only match module shapes to ensure component compatibility. A consumer may purchase a first module containing a computer component of the consumer's choice and complete a computer system of compatible components by purchasing additional modules having the same shape as the first module. In a preferred embodiment, each component is operated by a dedicated processing unit ("DPU") and operating system dedicated to it to avoid the limitations of computer systems that rely upon general purpose operating systems.
