I also had this extra N64 I didn't need, so I thought "Hey, maybe I'll use it as a toaster. No wait, I know! I'll build a LEGO casing for it!" Well, here's how that turned out. BTW, if somehow you've never heard of Legos, click here for the wikipedia article. Click here to see all 15 photos. It's a little miscoloured, especially the contoller, because I had only a couple of buckets of blocks to work with, but I think it turned out pretty well. What do you think of it? Good or bad, I'd like to know. ...And yes, the controller is exponentially uncomfortable.

Deleted User	That's too cool! Say, did you remember to leave a space for cooling? Don't want it to overheat. 25/10, though. That's the coolest thing I've seen in ages. I especially like the Mario and Luigi. Great touch! I like the Mop "official seal" too.

Legos are probably the one thing I loved more than video games as a kid. You have combined them into one orgy of fun. I would love to have sexual relations with it, time permitting.

I glued the rubber buttons onto the board with puzzle preserver so they wouldn't slide around. The controller port is covered, so no memory/rumble paks. A rumble pak would probably destroy the thing anyway. I'll probably redesign the controller at some point, making it more colour-coded, and hopefully less pointy corners. alxbly Posted on Nov 12 2006, 07:28 PM Say, did you remember to leave a space for cooling? Don't want it to overheat. Yep. On the bottom (not shown), there's an open line down the middle. Also, on each side are small vents: Where the red/white/yellow lines end is where the vent starts. That's another area I may redesign to make it colour-coded. Anyways, the top half of the N64's casing has been removed, and there's quite a bit of empty space inside the LEGO casing. I kept the bottom half of the N64's plastic case on for stability reasons. I'm not too worried about it though, because I don't really use it to play games. niniendowarrior Posted on Nov 12 2006, 09:00 PM Some people have a N64s like it's nothing and here I am... with not a single machine. Isn't it kind of ironic that you're a member of an N64 forum when you don't own one...? In fact, I can't recall you saying you own any system...

Sorry, I meant no disrespect by saying that. I hope you get another one soon; cherish it like no other. DOL_001 Nov 12 2006, 11:55 PM whoa nice job, i though of doing this to one of my gamecubes before but i don't have enough blocks That would have been interesting. I'd think it'd be harder since the GameCube is more compact. The disk tray would've been the hardest thing to make; I'm not even sure how that would work...

Where is the expansion pak? It has a Jumper Pak, which can be seen here: Abendigo Nov 13 2006, 02:31 PM nice! what inspired you to do this? I had a couple buckets of LEGO bricks which were just sitting around collecting dust. I loved LEGOs when I was younger; I didn't want to toss them out, so I was thinking of one last thing I should build just to display. One day on the NES General board on GameFAQs, someone posted a topic about a LEGO NES that someone made. There was a link to a site with many everyday objects made out of LEGOs, so I wondered, maybe I could turn my extra N64 into a LEGO machine? And the rest, as they say, is history.

I can't even remember a time when I was actually a nice person... Anyways, yeah, it is all still together but it is packed away right now. It now has a bunch of Lego people on it because, well, who wouldn't want to party on top of a giant Nintendo 64?
