I puttered around a bit with the Lego Inside computer. I created a startup screen to match the logo as well as some desktop icons. It's pretty nifty looking, though the sad reality is that it's still a Pentium II 266 Mhz computer. Perhaps I'll scoop the guts out some day and put in a real computer.

Well, the Lego Inside computer is pretty much finished. Like all things, I can fiddle with it forever, but I'm going to call it "done enough" for now. It looks pretty nifty, and its very Lego nature makes continual modification fun to do. I'd like to do some hinges for the CD-ROM drive, but the existing snap-on technique works okay.

It'll probably turn into a game server eventually. No good games out at the moment, unless you count Half-Life. Might be fun to play a bit on that one. I'd like to get it a bit more quiet too. I may have to fiddle with the fans a bit. Still, great fun. The hard part's over for now. For more details, visit the case mod feature.

Well, I'm slowly working on the new Lego case. It's not going as well as I expected - the glue isn't sticking, the baseplates aren't lining up well, and I managed to glue some important parts together. I'm hoping I'll have some time and energy this weekend to work on it some more. This kind of work requires too much time and coffee.
