Just buy a bunch of NAND gates and make your own registers

Sure, you can do that....if you're a casual. Real PC users build their own NAND gates out of MOSFETs.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my relays

Relays are for kids and cowards who are too soft to use mercury delay-line memory

Oh, the relays are just a side project that I'm toying with. My daily driver is a hamster-wheel-powered marble-run abacus running floating point arithmetic

I prefer to do the old fashioned way like granny taught me, by weaving my own damn memory.
