Anyone ever heard about lego PC parts, with a model case? small, and shows you how to put bits into a computer? I heard someone at work mention that you can get smaller toy versions of PC's in a kind of lego form, to help with PC build repair courses, is this true, and where would you buy such an item? It would be ideal for space, better than having a big PC box in the house

Dpn't know about an actual course but I turned up this from a guy who's built pc compnents into a lego "case" and PC Magazine also challenged someone to build a lego PC which you can read about here

 

Theres the Lego Mindstorms stuff that allows young people to learn robotics, automation and control.

Its possible to build 'model' logic gates out of various stuff like tubes and marbles, one guys doing it in lego.

Other people have just used lego to build a case.

 

I once saw something provided by some TP or other, which was basically a cardboard box lined with fuzzy felt and you had to stick the components inside with velcro.

Funniest thing I ever saw, but at least you couldn't electrocute yourself - or cut yourself on sharp bits...
