Lego Macs
Posted on August 1, 2009 by admin
It appears that clones of Macs are not only ordinary PCs that pretend to be Macs. Apple not only does not support them but actually fight them down. The best example is legal case between Apple and Psystar for breaking end user license for Mac OS X. It seems that not all of the Mac clones chased by Apple. Well, to be more accurate, they are not clones but variations on a Macs and kind of tribute to the outstanding design of those computers, yielded by the Apple cult. Those are the copies or miniatures or real clones of Apple Mac computers made of Lego bricks.
The above Lego Mac Pro is made by rpster88, and consist of 2588 LEGO bricks. It is also made of two independent machines – a Hackintosh and Mac Mini. This one was made for MacMod Challenge 2008.
Those photos were found on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rpster/sets/72157607061188085/
There is also a nice movie recorded during building up that Mac Pro:: http://www.vimeo.com/1640088
Another machine is iMac G4 “The Lamp” miniature made of LEGO Bricks by Bjarne Panduro Tveskov, a former senior concept developer at LEGO.
This iMac G4 is of course not a real Mac but just a miniature with LCD frame used as a iMac flat screen. It can be a great addition to the original iMac on the same desk. Digital frame can display a Mac OS X screenshot.

There is yet another iMac White miniature made of just a few LEGO bricks.
This small iMac is made by Askin100 and this photo is available on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26664923@N07/
There is more LEGO Macs on Flickr, just search for them. I wonder how many you can find.
