Cell Computer Parts

There are many different organic parts in your Cell Computer. This will describe those parts and what they replace.

Part list

Cell membrane - fans & mesh covering

The cell membrane is a important part of the cell which regulates what is coming and going. We have custom DNA-programmed your Cell Computer’s cell membrane to filter out dust and other airborne particles while allowing air in. This removes the need for traditional fans and a mesh covering.

Cytoplasm - motherboard

In a normal computer, you would have a motherboard, which holds and connects everything together. However, in this computer, we are using cytoplasm, which helps hold everything and protect everything. Additionally, since cytoplasm fills space instead of just being a board, the degree of protection is much greater.

Nucleus - CPU

We are done with boring Intel and AMD CPUs. Because of that, we have created a brand new Carbon 1st gen 6453 Super++ Improved Performance+ Extra Powerful Marketing Buzzword+ nucleus CPU! This CPU is shipped in all carbon computers and uses a nucleus to help make core decisions instead of a standard transistor CPU. Both function as decision-making centers, but the nucleus offers superior integration with cells and contains the nucleolus.

Nuclear membrane - CPU Heatsink

Since we used a nucleus CPU, we needed a new heatsink for the nuclei. To do this we used a nuclear membrane, which protects the nucleus. In the Cell Computer, we made sure the nuclear membrane was optimized for protection against overheating. In fact, with a nuclear membrane, your computer can run a whole 0.5°C cooler!

Nucleolus - BIOS Flasher

You need the BIOS to tell your computer how to run before the code on the SSD kicks in. We used ribosomes to help interpret DNA which contains the BIOS information. To produce those ribosomes, we used the nucleolus, which functions like a BIOS flasher in how it helps you load the BIOS onto your computer.

Mitochondria - Power Supply

The mitochondria of the Cell Computer helps generate and regulate the power used in the computer. It functions very similarly to a traditional power supply, but it also helps generate power.

Ribosomes - BIOS

For booting, we use ribosomes to interpret DNA and start the computer, similarly to how a motherboard BIOS works. However, ribosomes are superior in that they can be freely created by the nucleolus.

Vacuoles - SSD

Sometimes, you want to store everything on your devices. Now, you can. In the Cell Computer, we use vacuoles, which allow you to store both data and other things like nutrients! Vacuoles also fill more space, meaning you should be able to fit lots of stuff and almost any data that you can think of.

Lysosomes - Drive Cleanup

Sick of your slow software-based drive cleanup tool? Well, the new Cell Computer comes with lysosomes by default, which automatically cleans up unwanted junk in the cell. Additionally, lysosomes help remove potentially harmful things in the Cell Computer.

Endoplasmic Reticulum - RAM Defragmenter

Your RAM can get pretty messy. To fix this, applications often have to continually move RAM to the correct places. Usually the software managing that block of memory defragments the RAM, but with the Cell Computer, now you have a faster, more secure alternative. The Cell Computer comes with an endoplasmic reticulum. However, instead of moving proteins to the correct place, it moves blocks of memory.

Golgi Apparatus - USB outlet

Everyone needs USB connections for sending data and power. In the Cell Computer, the Golgi Apparatus is a crucial element of that, as it packages data into the USB format and prepares it for distribution through the vesicles. Normally in a cell the Golgi Apparatus would package cellular substances, and the one in the Cell Computer is no exception. Using the new TransMat format, you can package almost anything for transportation to supported recievers using the Golgi Apparatus.

Cytoskeleton - Case

Everyone who has a fancy PC probably wants to show it off. What way is better than a self repairing Cytoskeleton case? The Cytoskeleton keeps the cell shape in normal cells, and we brought it out as a sort of exoskeleton for the PC.

Vesicles - USB Cables

To go with the Golgi Apparatus, the Cell Computer contains some USB cables. However, these are not normal USB cables. They are vesicles, which have been adapted to transport USB data from Golgi Apparatuses, as well as the normal materials that all vesicles work with. They also now extend out of the Cell Computer if needed.

Centrioles - Case supports

To keep everything in the right place, we use centrioles as microtubes to supports various elements of the computer. They are much stronger and lighter than normal materials* and work better with other cell parts.
