It contains 40,000 transistors, 10,000 LED lights and it weighs around half a tonne (500kg). So far, he has used it to play the classic video game Tetris.

Runs up to 8kHz (from the video: his "Stats" page says "Currently looks like about 20kHz."?), which is impressive: I'm kind of surprised he could get the propagation low enough to make that work.
500W of power to run; if he didn't have all those LEDs to power that'd be quite a bit lower.
