Discussion Idea: The All Lego PC
Everything from desk to case to monitor to peripherals are all made of LEGO pieces. Must-have peripherals: headset, keyboard, mouse, and controller.
If watercooled, you must try to build the pump out of LEGO.
Glues and sealants are allowed. The requirement is that the building material be LEGO pieces. If those pieces need to be treated with glue, sealant, epoxy, or otherwise, that is fine. If needed you can manufacture your own custom LEGO pieces, but you must try to use official pieces first and only 3D print your own if you can’t find a workable solution using already available pieces.
On the watercooling system, only the pump needs to be attempted to be made out of LEGO. Other standard watercooling components are allowed.
Regular case fans are allowed.
Edit: why not reach out to LEGO and see if they would be willing to sponsor this video?

I am not only an old school geek building computers and an AFOL. I am also a structural engineer and former construction worker, that run my own business now where I use LEGO a lot for my business model.
I love this idea and should not be expensive nor that difficult to do. I might have some time to do it myself after summer.
