The Lego Computer Mod
Made by Stephen Sessions
This all started out when I was bored and
decided I wanted to do something fun. Eventually I got the idea
to build another computer but I wanted to make an intresting mod.
I had a lot of ideas ranging from lincoln logs to building it out
of a typewriter. Then the idea hit me to use Legos. I considered
using a mini-itx motherboard but didn't want to spend the money
so instead opted for a cheap pentium 133 motherboard.
The CD-Rom
didn't end up working so thats why you will see a blank area in
some pictures. I started building the base with some parts added
that act as spacers. The motherboard stays in very good and
doesn't wobble at all. The slot on the right contains the hard
drive and the motherboard is installed on top of the green base. 
The CD-Rom
was a little tough to get in because it didn't want to fit as you
can see. When installing it I had to make sure to leave the top
part unconnected until it was in all the way. 
I forgot to
add slots for the fans so I decided to do that next. 
Once the
fans where installed I moved on to the base for the power supply
to stand on. 
The power
supply would go directly on top of this and there would be
something on the right added to stop the power supply from
causing a short circuit with the video card. 
The next
step was to add another layer on top of the power supply to give
it some stability. 
After this
I made a few minor changes such as putting in windows. 
The last
step was to add the top to it. It is a little messy on one side
because it isn't meant to be seen. 
After
almost 20 hours of work it is finally over and I have made a one
of a kind computer out of Legos.
