boofnasty Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) They are mostly mega-bloks, those suck. Not bad for $10 though. If I had a choice to build a case it would be with Lego Technic pieces. Oh and one thing is how are you going to ground everything? Edited September 9, 2004 by boofnasty
ken_cinder Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 (edited) Cost me over $100 to get enough pieces of mainly 2x4 blocks if they are Lego brand. Trust me, I went to the online Lego store. As for everything being sold on Ebay, it's all messes of Lego flags, wheels and junk, or pre-designed sets (When did everyone lose their imagination? Lego is coming out with too much pre-set design lego kits these days, ,and not enough big ass buckets of plain blocks) As for it melting, do your fans melt in your case? Does the fan on your CPU or GPU melt? (Though some are metal fans, not all are)It's not like the temperatures inside a PC case get that high even WITHOUT any fans. lol Edited September 9, 2004 by IJTF_Cinder
Wizard Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 If you put more then 8, You shall be my new god of fans.
boofnasty Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 It would be nice if you had a few technic pieces and used the axles for screws and standoffs and such, just the grounding issue to worry about.
Jiggs Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 This is awesome. You definately need to supply pictures when you get done.
Ghosty Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 It would be nice if you had a few technic pieces and used the axles for screws and standoffs and such, just the grounding issue to worry about.Wow Still Loading After Like 15 mins, Damn 56k. And Really Use Technic Parts They Are A Lot Better(Rods, Screws, Ect). And Great Idea!
Jiggs Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Guys, you're forgetting about those base pieces that all the sets are built upon. I'm sure Cinder has one that's big enough laying around.
ken_cinder Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 Guys, you're forgetting about those base pieces that all the sets are built upon. I'm sure Cinder has one that's big enough laying around.What I bought comes with a few flat pieces I may be able to make use of. If not, I'll jsut buy some. As for buying Technics Lego, buy it for me........using those would cost a fortune to build a PC case, alot more than buying a real PC case from a good brand name mfg. Technics is out of the question, so was Lego brand lego really......for the amount I need, Lego brand costs too damn much.
boofnasty Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 (edited) I wasn't telling you to buy lego technic pieces, I was just suggesting if you had any you could use them with the blocks you have as a way to fasten the motherboard to the case. Edited September 10, 2004 by boofnasty
Jiggs Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Well, something about using the old school Legos will add to the integrity of Cinder's little project.
Ryuken Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 he doesn't have any lego (i think) he has gay megablock
Jiggs Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) Well, he should still be able to work with it. I have enough legos to build many cases (There is half of a 55 gallon Jack Daniels barrel full of Legos sitting around here), but don't have the dedication for such a project, and besides, the colors of the blocks would be extremely random, as digging through half of an old whiskey barrel is a long and tiresome process.
