    To enable the firewall you simply put a red brick in front of the port.

      I can make a cable lock with lego and integrate it into the case, but without superglue it is useless...

    But I ran out of Black Bricks halfway through so I switched to blue, then I ran out of them and had to switch to yellow bricks. I ended up using the pink bricks from my daughter's LEGO pony set and before long it became "Linksys and the amazing technicolor dream router". The I had to use the little lego people to fill in the holes on the top of the router so now I have a LEGO policeman dry humping a LEGO baker so i can cover the hole on the top of it. I also installed some killer wheels from the racecar set so now I can easily move the router across my desk without lifting it up off the surface of the desk. I think next I will try to integrate the lego mindstorms kit into it so that it can move around my desk on it's own and replace my computer's automatic cup holder which has been acting up lately...

    Though the Wi-Fi Antennas look pretty cool with the space set radar dishes on them...
