Default Lego Computer Case

Hehe I found my old legos and I have old unuseful HP Pavilion t749.fi computer so I decided to do a lego computer case.

I will finish it next week but enjoy pictures that time. I'm sorry they ain't english language website, but guess google translator can help with that...

I wonder, are there any problems regarding heat? What with lego being plastic.

Other than that, I want a lego case now. Propose the idea to Antec xD

Hehehe Lego bricks are high quality plastic that are very durable and can be recycled for many degades by selling them to next users. This way Lego bricks make minimal junk because during production they will recycle even damaged parts and wasted plastic.

Well I have old Lego Motor engine and I'm going to make it to a fan that makes an airflow trough case. Also there are alot holes at top of the case to make sure hot air gets out easily.

Yeah I will post there images more when its more finished and finished project too. The good thing is I can put there any mATX motherboard, ATX powersupply and graphic card to ensure good HTPC functions. There is even enough room for GeForce 9800GX2, but then I might have to improve air flow because you can fry eggs on it ;)

Well if you want to build Lego Case I suggest to look for lego bricks from flea market and other second-hand stores.

Btw. Lego is an adjective.

lol 9800GX2 on a mATX mobo there a good reason for having a lego case.Regular 9800GTX is almost as wide for a normal mobo spot on a ATX mobo/case.
