The Helsinki Motherboard City is Made to Scale

Trend Hunter has featured quite a few miniature creations before, but I have to say that the Helsinki motherboard city may just take the cake. Made from computer parts, it is a realistic model that, as Gizmodo notes, is made to scale.

Although I don't have much information about the Helsinki motherboard city, and only one photo, I think it is enough to appreciate this techie feat. Kudos to whoever built this Finnish city.
