Didn't Lego have a kit to build a pc case before. I remember seeing it in an old Maximum PC mag. *Digs through piles of magazines*

I did a small one. Legos are really nice as if you drill a hole in the wrong place all you need to do is replace the lego..

thats pretty slick... I've been buried with school, and haven't gotten around to continuing the project. The idea of spending 400 bucks on legos to build a full size case, is a little out of my range. I'd rather buy a new video card then a shet load of legos....

I dont know why I found this thread so late but it's awesome.
I spent my childhood playing with legos.

Good job.

You can always just tear it apart and make another if you dont like it.

I got bored with the with the little box so I made an aquarium



Remember you can buy Legos used as well.

At PDXLAN9 I met this lady that made a full size Lego case, pretty cool.

you could infact buy the non-lego brands. They are cheaper. Ebay is best to find em.

Default huh.........legos
good luck on that one.... but if your serious about it there is no limit to the number of ways to do it.... basic design would be a box of course... but color on the walls could be interesting

sounds funny that it costs so much to buy the legos to build a case that is for the intent of eluding a small budget though
