			Note: step 3 can be done earlier, in fact it can be done before the quest was even started, in which case it will be skipped automatically after you finish step 2. It might actually be a good idea to do it as the first step of this quest since the [[City of Lost Robots]] is a lower level zone and thus would be easy to fight in. By finishing that lower level zone first you will be closer to leveling up to level 6 which would make the casino much easier.

			Only a Gadgeteer can make a positronic computer, and it is very expensive and requires components that cannot be acquired at your level. Unless you pulled one from deep storage from a previous [[retcon]] then you should just get an Electronic computer instead. To make an electronic computer:
			* Go to [[Aaron's All-Night Electronics]] at [[University Heights]] and buy:
			** 1 [[electronic computer instructions]] for 100 chips.
			** 1 [[titanium chassis]] for 100 chips.
			** 1 [[Vlad's Decryptonomicon software]] for 75 chips.
			* Get 1 [[data plate]] (drop only). This can actually drop at the Casino or [[Golden Wooden Nickel Casino]] itself from a [[guardian orb]]. Or you can get it from [[City of Lost Robots]].
			* Get 2 [[memory tube]] (drop only). This can actually drop at the Casino but the chances are low, it is easier to get it from [[City of Lost Robots]].
			* Get 2 [[electronic cabling]]. You might be able to buy them at the [[Black Market]] for 200 chips each. Or they can drop in [[City of Lost Robots]] with pretty decent odds.
			* Get 1 [[power converter]]. odds are you already got one from the city of lost robots when farming the previous items. But if not you can buy it at Aaron's for 75 chips or keep farming at the city of lost robots.
			* Get 1 [[nanoprocessor]]. odds are you already got one from the city of lost robots when farming the previous items. But if not you can buy it at Aaron's for 200 chips or keep farming at the city of lost robots.
			* Once you have all items, use the [[electronic computer instructions]] in your inventory to assemble the machine. Then go to your hideout to install your computer in your computer lab. Then use [[Vlad's Decryptonomicon software]] from your inventory to install that unto the computer.
