Latest PC mod built from 1,238 pieces of Lego…

Posted on August 9th, 2008 by Editorial Staff in Gadgets, Geeky, Laptops / Computers

Lego is probably one of the things that we find most enjoyable to talk about here on this blog, unfortunately its not easy to build every from Lego. Luke Andersen, a computer science major student from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, decided that he wanted to have something special for a PC, something with a wow geeky factor. So he made up his mind and first created the plans for his PC via a simple CAD program. Then he bought 1,238 Lego pieces (for a total of $140) to assemble his masterpiece as pictured, his design includes a removable panel which is pretty clever because he’ll always be backed up just in case he needed an upgrade. Another clever thing about using Lego to build his PC tower is that he can probably design places where he could easily take chunks of Lego out in the situation that the PC overheated.

And if he didn’t like the design, he could always smash it and rebuild a different design, that’s $140 well spent!

Watch this 2-minute video in fast motion which shows you the process of how he built his PC, I wonder how long it actually took him to build this though!
