Reddit user builds PC setup from clamping components
People who build all sorts of things from bricks are not uncommon. But one PC enthusiast goes even further and builds a PC, keyboard and monitor into Lego-like blocks.
U/OkDebate6649 also had zero experience with terminal blocks. The reason why he opted for this: He wanted to reach the minimum order quantity for a discount. Once he had the clamping blocks at home, he thought it was an interesting project and got to work.
The Reddit user is modest when it comes to the hardware in a tower-style housing made of terminal blocks: He does without an external graphics card because he only uses the PC for work. The centrepiece is therefore «only» a Ryzen 5 5600G on a Mini-ITX mainboard, which already has an integrated graphics unit, and 16 gigabytes of RAM. Two fans also ensure the correct air circulation in the case so that the hardware does not overheat.
As if that wasn't enough, he also built himself a clipboard-style desk clock with an iPhone 6 and a mouse out of Lego-like blocks.
I find it amazing how someone with no prior knowledge can build several pieces of hardware that look so stylish and coherent. It shows once again that you can create something cool with enthusiasm and fun.
