I've literally got over $1000 worth of legos in my garage from when I was younger. My parents would buy me a new set every weekend (anywhere from $20-$80). I wish I could spend that much now on PC parts!!!

Love the mod. Almost makes me want to break out the legos and make one myself :rockout:

the nice thing about Legos is you can change things quite easily.

It is surprising how many Legos it takes to build a case, lucky for me my brother is a LEGO NUTT!

Oh I bet I've got enough for a FEW cases. And yeah, you just crack a bit off, and replace whatever you're changing out.

OOH. BRILLIANT IDEA.

Market your lego case as the new age "completely tool-free" design and make BILLIONS!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You shouldve used a color motif on the blocks.. using 2 colors or so for uniformity.. Also, you could use more complicated blocks instead of regular.. (a latch piece or a technique created latch for an opening panel fpr example, led blocks, etc..) other wise its great! 9/10 from me

Neato.

I'd like to see the majority of the plexi-glass either removed, or blackened out, so that the only really visible see-through area, is where the CPU is, or, anywhere BUT the CDdrive/Hard disk; those fine print stickers and vendor labels are an eye sore.
