Title: anyone made a case use Lego brick?
Post by: Neo.X on Sat, 30 November 2013, 16:39:10: I am thinking of making a 60% or 75% case using Lego brick, that could be fun.

Anyone did this before?

Thanks

You are my only hope!

That's what I was thinking.

And a lego palm rest!

Post by: dragonxx21 on Sun, 01 December 2013, 17:59:56: I wonder how much it would cost to get all the bricks. Makes me regret not keeping my legos from when I was younger.

Not really. Pick a brick has these priced at 0.10 each and for example, Halverson's used about $40.6 worth of pieces. Not expensive mind you, but not cheap enough to be counted as "not too much"
