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.

    I also built a computer case made out of Legos. It isn't as nice as the one shown but I thought I would share it with the rest of Slashdot. You can view some pictures on my website at http://home.comcast.net/%7Esessions9/lego.html.

    I know Google's server had a case made from legos
    once upon a time.(Scroll down.)


    Not nearly as artistic as these, though.

  3. Where do you get this much lego? by bulkmailforyou · · Score: 4, Interesting

    After seeing all these projects done with legos, I wonder how you can obtain this much lego. Stores do not seem to sell much more than kits, or very simple buckets with varieties of pieces. Where can you get a ton of just plain bricks?

    Is it just me or has building weird things out of Legos become about as original as posting half-eaten food on eBay?

    Anyway, here's another one that I built 3 years ago. Someone said it'd be a hassle taking this to LANs, but I took mine to about 30 LANs. It was stable, self-supportive, and didn't require anything but gravity to hold itself nice and tight. I took it apart a few months ago. It had become a bit passe already.

    and one of the finest Lego modelers out there is Jennifer Clark.

    Look at her website for a while, and you'll just say "wow." She has the most amazing designs, and stays as true to the equipment she's modeling as she can.
