What an enormous waste of time! Besides, I think it looks quite ugly.

Is it really that difficult though?
I mean the lego just has to take place of the case. You just have to measure and calculate and have the right pieces.

Only the last case looks decent, I think. Hmm...

And you guys call yourself geeks? Laughing

It's not whether it works, or is practical, or looks good. It's that the guy made a computer case out of LEGO... that's just cool Wink It's all about the weird factor Rolling Eyes

Really? Well, I guess when my new case comes in I'm gonna fill it with soil and plant a bansai tree or two. Nah, I didn't mean to say that it was stupid or uncool, I just thought the colour choices for the first few cases could've been better. Besides, I've got some other (albeit unoriginal) ideas for my case.

if your computer runs hot enough to melt plastic then a melting case is the least of your worries...

I was hoping nobody would link to that one... it's much less intersting than the LEGO cases.
