Build Your Own Lego Computer Case

Posted by michael on from the time-on-your-hands dept.

PuppiesOnAcid writes "Here is what comes about when you cross a case modder and an AFOL (Adult Fan of Legos). It would be interesting to see how he got everything mounted in there since there don't appear to be any screw holes." Not just a Lego shell around a case, he's used the Legos to support everything. Impressive.

  1. Legos: a closed, proprietary system by ScentCone · · Score: 5, Funny

    It may seem like you can build and do everything you want with Legos, but you're really locked into what their fat cat corporate greed team says you can do. What the world needs is a good, peer-reviewed, open-ended, modular plastic building block system that everyone can have for free. That would totally rule.

    Adult Fan of Lego? we've really got an acronym for this now? Seriously, what's wrong with just 'Lego fan'? Can we stop the frivolous acronyms, they're absolutely unneccessary and getting out of control.

      This is a necessary term. The problem is that for a very long time, TLC (The Lego Corporation) did not see any market for adult products. They thought they were making toys for kids. We taught them a lesson when they sold MANY more RIS (Robotics Invention System) kits than their marketers told them that kids would buy. They would have been happy enough selling to schools. Instead, all of AFOLs bought them, and their eyes were opened.

      So, AFOL.

    As impressive as the toilet would be, I would not want to be around when it collapses.

    I hand it to the guy for doing what he did, but it's been awhile since I've seen something so aesthetically unappealing. I wonder what the queer eyes for the straight guy would have to say about this geek monstrosity.
