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.

    A little difference. That mini-itx one is just a lego box with the parts piled up inside and the back wall doesn't even exist.

    This is a higher quality production by far. A two year old could make the one at mini-itx.com.

    Cute, but with no sliding panel, I'm sure doing any maintenance (switching HDs, cleaning, etc) must be close to hell.

    Case-modders. Funny people.

    Seeing as Lego is a brand name, then shouldn't the individual pieces be called "Lego Bricks" or "Lego Pieces" rather than "Legos"?

      Oh yeah. We wouldn't want to confuse people if the company started to branch out and make other LEGO branded products that weren't plastic bricks.

      If a woman admitted that she shoved 'Legos' in her vagina every month, people would think she was psycho. But not after realizing she meant the new "LEGO tampons", which of course are perfectly normal cotton wads used to absorb blood and liquid. And wait until they start producing disposable enemas.

    You know it'd help if you used the correct spelling for grammar.

    I just love how the grammar/spelling nazis almost always make mistakes in their corrective posts and are usually ACs.

    Give me time and legos and I could do that too.

    Ah, but this guy was enough of freak to actually take the time and do it. That's a special sort of nerd, right there.

    you notice he starts with a design, but at just about the half way point he seems to have said 'screw this noise, I'm putting them on however'

    also, he made a box. With legos. Pretty much what most kids make.
    heh, good job though.

    The thing is, is that really such a good idea? I mean, metal provides you shielding, dissipates static charges, and all that other good stuff.
