If you're still looking, Wal-Mart has a box of 1600 Legos or like 1100 Duplos for $30.

I'm just looking to see if anyone has some Legos or Lego compatible bricks that they'd like to sell cheap. I've looked on Ebay and they seem to be quite pricey, especially when considering how many I'm going to need to re-case my recently beheaded eMac.

If ya wanna be a good samaritan, lemme know, thankx! :)


Hi,

Don't know why anyone would want to waste a good set of legos on an eMac, but beheading an eMac sure sounds good to me.

A lego case for a computer sounds like a good idea for a Christmas present for my Grandson.  I should get to work on something like that for him before it is too late.  Any sites that have completed Lego case designs already completed with pictures?

The Grandson already is becoming proficient with an OLD Windows laptop, but I have always hoped that I could get him interested in using an Amiga some day.  I have a spare A1200 I can loan to him or give him if he develops any interest in it, but so far he does not seem to show any interest in how computers work, just what he can play on them.

I did get him set up with an email account though, so maybe he will start taking more interest in different aspects of computers in the next few years.  Kids and computers are not like they were 25 years ago.  He is only 9 right now, so maybe in a few more years he will show more interest in what makes them work.

Hi,

@amigadave

I would get him an Amiga 1200 only as a hobby computer to fool around with, you know get creative, learn programming, etc.

but,

whether we like it or not, PC's are the way of the future, they do most of our government work (now we know why the government is so inefficient) most of our business work (ever wonder why the world is going bankrupt), and most of our new gaming.

The only thing more useless than the Amiga today is the MAC line and the MAC line still has support. Ever wonder how the Amiga would be if it would get support. Maybe I should say more useless than the Atari line.

I will, I'm just having car issues, which results in money and transportation issues. :/

As soon as I can get over to my dad's when I have a day off, I'm going to use his table saw to cut the base which the bottom layer of bricks are going to be fastened to.

That is a very cool case.
 
Hey X, did you get the eMac to display on an external monitor?

Yep, details of that can be found on the morphzone.

Once the case is done, I'll be posting all the details on my page.
