So this well-known computer in the geek world, is now for sale at eBay, of course it’s not going to do the same as it was doing on the movie — like talk or try to kill you — . But for a very well sum, you can get home this precious item.

HAL 9000 is a fictional character in the Space Odyssey series, the first being the novel and film 2001 A Space Odyssey, written by Arthur C Clarke. HAL is an artificial intelligence, the sentient on-board computer of the spaceship Discovery. HAL is usually represented only as his television camera “eyes” that are an omnipresent feature of the Discovery spaceship. The voice of HAL 9000 was performed by the actor Douglas Rain. HAL became operational on January 12, 1997 (1992 in the movie) at the H.A.L. Laboratory in Urbana, Illinois, and was created by Dr. Chandra. In the 2001 film, HAL is depicted as being capable not only of speech recognition and natural language understanding, but also lip reading. — Wikipedia.
