Fun: Lego Computer
PC Magazine has commissioned Nathan Sawaya to build a fully functional Lego computer. The PC, made of 3,000 bricks, will take around 25 hours to build, almost twice the time as typical desktop Lego sculptures. That's just a guesstimate though, as the working version is still under construction.
“We're about halfway there. We have a working LCD monitor, a 17-inch LCD monitor - it's actually a Samsung Synchmaster monitor - and it's encased in Lego’s,” says Jeremy Kaplan of PC Magazine. “I'm thinking we're going to have two CD drives, there’s going to be a host of USB ports, it's going to be close to a 2-Gigahertz processor, and 512 MB ram - standard stats. It'll be a pretty decent computer. It won't be a barn burner, but it will be a decent computer.”

Also, definitely check out Nathan Sawaya's website. The Lego sculptures are incredible, including a life size Lego scuplture of Han Solo encased in carbonite. The guy is a legend around LegoLand.
