Hello all, I have finished my LEGO PC mod! I will be uploading the worklog shortly.

For now, here are some pics to keep you guys satisfied:

Here is the front of the machine

Here is the IDE cable that connects to the HDD

The giant gaping hole inside is for connecting to the PSU!

The top slab slides off of the machine! (I will upload a vid later)

Here are all of the ports: ^^ There is (from left to right) VGA, some ADC-like VGA variant, parallel (partially covered), 2 x PS/2, 4 x various audio ports, 12V DC for the fans, 3 x Ethernet (one is a twisted pair), and 3 x FireWire.
 
Doesn't look like those expansion cards are supported... sounds like a recipe for a broken board. Other than that, it looks good.
 
Looks similar to something an employee did at my last work place that was in accounts/web development department.

As for hardware, look's like old stuff, how I can tell? I just thew away 2 of those LAN/coaxial cable ISA card's.
 
I spotted 1 case fan in the blue section on the front. It shouldn't need too much cooling since it is older hardware. You might want to make room for an exhaust fan or put some venting in the lid to allow more heat to escape.

Just curious, but where is the power button?

Also, it looks like you could fit 1 crossbeam under the PCI cards to support them. You might have to use one of the smooth topped pieces.


Overall, I like the design. I'm also a lego fanatic, so I'm a little biased. :cool:
Looking forward to the inside pics.

I've noticed that my webhost has been attacked a whole lot lately. Good thing I don't have anything important up there! I post it to some other site, perhaps.

Sorry, guys.


It appears to be working today, however.
