Default [Complete] Lego PC Case.. Not sure of a system name yet.

Ok so here it is. My lego PC case v3.0.

First, I would like to dedicate this pc to OCN, as the majority of the parts in here actually came from OCN members, parts I have purchased since my start here.

With that said, here it is.







And this is a pic of 'in progress'. You can see the HDD mounted above the CPU Cooler. Kinda nifty design.

Wow, that is stunning. I want to do this now.

How does this thing perform, heat wise? I only see 1 fan.

There is 1 120mmfan in the front, an 80mm fan attached to a heatpipe cooler for the cpu, and 2 80mm fans for the PSU. The 120mm fan also cools the HDD, and with all of that in mind, the cpu idles in windows at around 40-45.

Its an Athlon XP 2700+ on a shuttle motherboard. Those older AMDs got really hot so 40-45 considering the amazingly small space its shoved in is pretty good.

just out of interest, did you custom order a lego set for this case or you just get whatever lego pieces you get your hand onto to make this one? looks like a fun project to do and very nice outcome

That's flipping awesome man! Not a fan of the colors, but you could always paint them couldn't you?

Out of curiosity, did you use anything besides lego? Did you do anything to dampin vibrations and/or enhance structural integrity?
