[color=66ff00]Stumbled upon this quite by accident whilst I was searching for cool scratchbuilt case designs. If you know of any good sites with this kind of thing (and I don't mean your bog standard three fans and a neon) post 'em here for the world to see.

Scratch built?

Looks neat.

*tries to say something smart*

Argh...

From no on, whenever I'm feeling like a pathetic geek with absolutely no life, I'll be able to look at those pictures and feel a little better. Thank you.

On the other hand, that IS pretty cool.

Bah. Building a case out of lego is nothing. Lets see them build the entire computer out of it!

The 5v Technics™ motor doesn't like the 120v power supply.

So basically the plastic fan explodes killing every Lego-man within a 4 board radius and sending throat-cutting chardes of flaming plastic out at about twice the speed of light.

learnt that from personal experience didn't ya?

an0n · **Reply #6 on:** February 15, 2003, 10:00:29 pm

Yes.

Not one place on that damn packet did it say "Do not connect to the mains supply".

Ah, to be 5 again.

meh, try adding a 24 volt power supply to a old alarm unit (sounded like an air-raid siren) had some student doin' the whole "duck and cover" thing

Pfff. If you're going to play with electricity you might as well go the whole hog and run a cable from the mains to a urinal.

pouring water into the hand dryers was fun as was plugging capacitors the size of coke cans into the power points

here's a little tip, wanna cause a little havoc in school, try putting a large resistor across a power point, i've heard that the resistor will last longer than the fuses/circuit breakers

You know, I remember having the same idea for a computer case when I was six or seven years old, but I didn't have the right pieces to make one at the time. Anyway, this looks quite neat; kind of funny how the minifigs are all over the place with the control panels. Perhaps these are the guys responsible for all the Windows errors and crashes.

Do you mean 4.5V? That thing is quite old; they stopped using it in 1990.

It seems that it is possible to run the 9V motors used today at 12V for short periods of time and thus give higher output, and I have heard of some successful attempts with that (there was actually a 12V lego motor in the early 1980s, but it was same as the 4.5v one except that it ran off a wall outlet). I myself have not tried running my lego motors at higher voltages, but that is because I can't spare the money to replace them if they explode.

you know, having 240v running up your arm is quite fun too...
(speaking from personal experience

I remember running around one day with an old 250v capacitator from a power supply, threatening to electrocute people. Don't think I ever did discharge that thing...

****, now I'm never touching my parts shelf again.

Here's one, not as fascinating as the lego one, but neat nonetheless.

[color=66ff00]More case coolness: Wacky

an0n, check out the 'love PC' I recon it would be right up your alley.
