Lego Computer running Kubuntu Linux

Lego PC
The Lego computer was made from an old Dell Dimension 2400 which was laying around Jeremy Duenas' house. He decided to strip it down and build it back up in a case made of Lego. The Lego PC runs Kubuntu Linux (due to him not wanting the XP Pro overheating the plastic Lego bricks). The idea is excellent and very unique. I like how there is a bridge in there and a Lego man sitting in a control centre. Top marks for effort there!!

28 more images of the Lego PC can be found over at Jeremys Blog.

    I love the little guy in the seat–he makes it fun.

    I make all sorts of stuff out of old junk–not as fancy as this sometimes, but sometimes more and this is a great idea.

    By the way, the link you have to the original post doesn’t work–do you have any information on the original beside what you have posted?

    (P.S. in case the link in my name didn’t work, my junky creations are at: http://www.junkcreation.com)

    I hadn’t expected so much exposure for the Lego computer. wow. I think eventually when I get some more money and legos, I’ll work on a slimmer version of the lego computer.

    I’d love to see a Lego Laptop (and not just for the alliteration). That would be slimmer, right? Not to mention much more eye catching than the black boxes everyone else (except, perhaps apple) has.

    well once I get my hands on some more legos, I’ve got an old (it ran Windows ME) laptop that I’ll try that with. Not so sure It’ll be a laptop, but I’ll use laptop parts to make it smaller.
