By James Davenport published 14 November 2016

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. 

Every Monday, Build of the Week highlights a unique rig from the web’s most dedicated PC building communities.

Someday, I will live in a home made of tiny plastic bricks. My dog, made of bricks, will wake me every morning for a brick walk around our brick neighborhood. I’ll return, make some brickfast, and take my brick child to brick school. My brick family and I will build a clean plastic life together. Everything should be made of Legos.

I know this, because Reddit user Quoras built their own PC out of Legos, and it looks better than most manufacturer cases out there. Composed of over 5000 individual Lego pieces and pieced together over the course of nine weeks, the final product is gorgeous. It’s a clean, monolithic aesthetic that looks like it’s hiding some kind of terrible knowledge inside, a prop in a brainy science-fiction epic left behind by an ancient alien race hiding the secret to kicking off my perfect new brick life.

The design is fairly restrained, which I dig in a custom case. A small panel hides the USB ports and some subtle blue LED lighting gives shape to the more angular design up top. And the power button is so camouflaged—it’s one of those white rectangles up top—that it convincingly gives off the illusion of being powered by the unseen forces. The power of good bricks. 

For more information and pictures, be sure to check out the original Reddit thread and each of the albums showing off the build process and final product.
