Yeah it's been done a few times before. Just get a lot of blocks and toy with it, it's not hard at all and you should be able to achieve what you want relatively easily.

i have started a LEGO case thread... its been awhile since i've done anything with it...

The idea is good. You need a ton of legos to build a case though... im down about 200 bucks and still dont have enough lego bricks for a micro atx case...

Do not glue then, they should be fine, Best would be to build a frame, and then build the LEGO's around it. I have been wanting to build a LEGO case, but do not have enough of them, at least the color I want. Care to donate some?
