Build of the Week: Lego gaming PC
Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web's most dedicated PC building communities.
This week’s build is a choking hazard for all ages, and not just because it’s made of Lego. It’s easy to forget to breathe once you realize this powerful gaming PC is housed in a custom chassis made entirely out of the classic interlocking brick system. The man behind the toy-that-isn’t-exactly-a-toy is Mike Schropp, a tinkerer, hacker, and modder out of Ann Arbor. He’s made compact Lego servers and PCs before (that actually look like huge Lego bricks), but with the Lego gaming PC, he’s created something that isn’t just novel, it’s packing some powerful components.
The design is something out of science fiction, a black obelisk with jutting edges that hold distinct sections of the build. Even though the Lego PC looks sealed off, it was built from the ground up (literally) to stay cool despite its shiny innards.
Head over to Schropp’s website for a super fascinating brickdown of his design and build process. And be sure to Lego of that envy, because you can actually order your own Lego PC from Schropp for some prices that won't brick the bank.

James is stuck in an endless loop, playing the Dark Souls games on repeat until Elden Ring and Silksong set him free. He's a truffle pig for indie horror and weird FPS games too, seeking out games that actively hurt to play. Otherwise he's wandering Austin, identifying mushrooms and doodling grackles.
