I expected something a bit more impressive.  Why not go all out and do the peripherals, too?  Link again after he does monitor and speaker casings, keyboard, mouse/pointing device, printer, etc.  Building a lego house around a motherboard impresses me not.

I suspect all those little people standing around inside the computer will obstruct heat flow.
 
I was actually far more impressed by this lego computer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81SJ3rUSw3Y&feature=player_embedded).
 
And I am pleased that transparent lego bricks appear to fit over LEDs so nicely. Mind you, I like these (http://www.mocpages.com/folder.php/98771) too. LEGO + LED = l33tage.
