Build Your Own Lego Computer Case
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.
This has been done before: http://mini-itx.com/projects/legobox/
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.
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?
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.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
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.
Dealing with lawyers would be a lot less tedious if they all looked like Casey Novak.
What do you suppose the melting point of lego is?
In the free world the media isn't government run; the government is media run.
Another Lego Computer!
A much better (IMHO) legoputer as its not just using bricks, but has windows and doors to control cooling!
The one near my house has a back wall full of buckets with bricks sorted by type and color. If you want a big pile of roof tiles, purple bricks, hinges, glass block, whatever, you can get it. They don't always have everything out, and the selection changes, but it's a great way to stock up on bricks.
You can also get the big blue tub which has a bunch of plain bricks.
yep

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.
