very nice.

I actually went to so far to not use anything at all besides the mobo-box on a shelf in the garage. not even lego.
my first rig I ended up building a wooden frame, more for the fun of it.

didn't know lego could do that lol, nice 1 DrG

Not my rig, see the post above mine (it's his).

Considering how much Legos go for nowadays I think getting a custom built aluminum rig for GPU mining would be cheaper.  If you go to a Lego store the big blocks even purchased in bulk are pretty pricey.  Maybe if a knockoff was available...
my apologies, great job clarkey2013, amazing job Cheesy

aluminum or wooden rigs would be fine, if you want to cut down on costs and get your hashing done like right now lol.

I built a LEGO box for two ASICminer Blades (old style). Nice thing about LEGOs is that you can build 80mm computer fans right into the walls and roof. Bad thing was that i bought the LEGOs, and even on eBay, ended up spending much more that an professionally built case would have cost. But is was fun building the case.  Smiley

Legos have been used in several builds.  They work fine as long as the legos aren't touching the hot stuff:

As the title says, anyone used Lego to assemble their rigs? Especially the large Duplo could do the trick, or? Maybe with some glue for safety?
