well for now I just slaped in my Audigy....which im not exactly pleased about. I think I will eithor call my chargecard on this issue or agree to only pay Half of the origonal price. Case is now basicaly compleat. I have to remobe a brick or 2 here or there 2 add holes for plugs but the structure and roof are done and in place...atleast untill I come up with something better...Which cant be all that hard.

Are the legos stable enough by just using their connections or is any glue necessary?

nexus_7 · Post by **nexus_7** » Fri Feb 22, 2002 1:24 pm

I had honstly never even heard of using glue with legos until I showed of my earlier lego case...and no, No glue involved here...Except I have resorted to gluing a few plugs inplace. You will see them in the final product. they are the AV plugs for the AIW, and there will also be a nic port glued in place as well most likelly...unless I can get it stable enough with out it.

I carry it around on a piece of wood.

As of today, there is only one thing left to do. Use it.

well and finish the few ports that need 2 be glued in place.

Other then that, the whole infastructure is legos. legos hold the Power suply, monitor, Mboard, dvd, hd, and what ever else in place....well and gravity.

Let the flaming begin! 8^P

PS, Sean - if you consider $1299, the the new iMac would count. It's got a 15" FP that is beautiful... imo.

PPS - No, I'm not a troll, I just think that a Lego 'puter is cool, no matter the architecture.

thats about the ugliest damn thing i have ever seen ... gawd them macs are ugly lol

I suppose you consider a Mac ugly whether or not it looks good, just because it's a Mac. I really don't see how you can find the new iMac ugly. Even if it isn't the greatest looking computer out there (which I think it may be), it definitely isn't ugly.

The Lego case is looking pretty good
