Lego folding farm fights cancer, looks good doing it

Sure, this Lego monstrosity isn’t as cute or agile as another plastic brick creations we have seen, but can those works of snap-together art cure cancer? OK, this folding farm may not actually put an end to tumors, nevertheless it can churn out 135,000 points of crunching power per-day in IBMs World Community Grid. Inside are literally three separate PCs powered by a trio of Core i7 2600ks and a single, massive 1,200-watt power supply. But who cares about that — just examine all those bricks! About 2,000 of them, together with about a aluminum bars, make up this DIY case. And, because of the over-sized supply and modular design, creator Mike Schropp can easily stack another system or two on top, should it tickle his fancy. We’ll leave you with some advice from Mr. Schropp — in the event you ever be engaged on a project and unable find exactly what you are looking for, just stop and wonder, “am i able to use Legos?”
