To everyone saying I need more ventilation, these are old, economy parts. They don't generate much heat. However, I am going to work some fans in, believe me on that.

Hard drive mount is done, still no drilling needed.

Interesting idea. I've seen it done successfully before on various blogs. Make sure you take all the precautions to make sure the parts are grounded.

i have a recommendation: add a system for using dry ice to cool the computer. say some slots to put it in to on various parts of the case, with cages on the inside to hold it. it would get rid of most thermal concerns, and the fog billowing out of the case would look pretty damned cool.

Also, how are you planning on suspending a motherboard in the middle of the case so that air may flow between all of the parts, cards, hard drives etc.?

I looked into that. Melting the Legos won't be a problem for him. Most PCs are 60 degrees C. Legos melt at almost double that.

why would i waste my time building a tower for my comp when i have a perfectly functional up to date comp beside me. It just seems silly to me.
Yes it may be fun but if i were to do something id make it visually pleasing, unlike your second rate representation of Arabic car.

go and look up lego's original manifesto ;) i think you will find the inventer didn't intend it to be an art form, it was a way for children to express their inner flair and creativity, without having to relate to military toys.

the patchwork thing is inkeeping with the spirit of lego, so quit bitchin

You can basically build a computer case out of any workable object, but this is something I never thought about... I hope you don't run out of lego blocks ;)

I'm going to have to agree with this, but not the other stuff he said.
I know, misquoting =)

Anyway, nice work so far; I'm curious to see how it turns out =)

Also, don't fight :)

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders.

By the way, I made the 'Create an Animated Sprite' preloader for Sprite TV 3!

LOL at everyone going "IT CAN'T BE DONE" "I KNOW A LOT ABOUT CUMPYUTURZ OLOLO" "THIS IS POINTLESS" "CAN I HAVE A MOUNTAIN DEW?"
Looks awesome so far, frenchie. I thought it was going to be vertical as well, but i'm happier that it's gonna be horizontal... Always had a soft spot for horizontal PCs.

Oh in that case, it can't be done because i know more about computers than you, this is pointless and i want my mountain dew.
Either way it's gonna be full of win.

Wondering whether i should stop posting at 666 posts for a while, for shits and lulz.

They look like they're gonna be a bitch to find, they pretty much blend in with the patches!

Looks pretty cool so far though.
