I made a 'cover' for my Shuttle case which, while very nice, is a bit
susceptable to scratches and dents:

Ive been looking at the mini-itx boards and had been thinking about a
LEGO case but looks like somebody has beaten me to it.

However, I think someone needs to build a more creative version.  The
standard box is nice, but
not very creative.  I just completed my mini-itx project (not lego) and it
was a blast.  Creating a
computer from scratch using an EPIA M-9000 was a very enjoyable way to • spend
a week.  A LEGO
version may be my next project.

Slightly related subject... I was given a copy of an article about Google from
the Readers Digest (April 2003, expect to read it in a doctors waiting room in
about 5 years time :-). Larry Page (co-founder) built a working printer out of
LEGO and when Google first started up the drives (111 of them) were housed in
cases made from LEGO.
