I also came across, "how to build computer from scratch", and I realize it also need a clock, and some capacitors...

However, pieces can be very small. I wonder if I can try building one virtually; but not getting too far from limits of reality -- I wonder if I can build a computer from silicon and metal scraps.

I think you can build a virtual controller using the NAND to Tetris tutorial, but I definitely recommend reading the book first - It really opened my mind when it comes to the most basics of computing.
