Title: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool! Post by: mikeo on July 19, 2011, 09:41:14 PM I know, it's not a miner, but the build is really beautiful and may give someone here some interesting ideas.

I wonder if anyone's built a rig with K'Nex? Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool! Post by: Morebitcoinsplease on July 20, 2011, 08:25:58 PM Speechless...
<sigh> If only I had kept my legos Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool! Post by: mikeo on July 20, 2011, 08:54:58 PM Speechless... I'm not familiar with the cost/availability of Legos so I'm wondering how much a build like that would cost?<sigh> If only I had kept my legos Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool!

Also, I have heard there was actually a designer program which allowed you to do CAD style model and then gave you a part list to order... that may be quite useful too...

Let us know if you get something reasonable out of the Lego Designer. I looked at it and didn't know where to start :-/EDIT: trying now: http://ldd.lego.com/download/default.aspx Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool!

I'm pretty sure someone in there has built a K'Nex rig to support his/her cards :) Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool! Post by: MiningBuddy on July 21, 2011, 02:41:34 AM Awesome!

Two 6970's at ~360MH/s on stock voltage and one 5830 at 270MH/s, also on stock voltage...all running on linuxcoin. Using the GPU fans @ 50% they all hover around 73C in my basement drawing 720 watts. http://www.temple.net/btc/2011-07-10_23-07-28_414.jpg Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool!

I believe you're thinking of an Erector Set (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Erector_Set). Went out of style with the chemistry sets... Sharp edges and chemicals? The children could be killed! Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool!

The children could be killed! I am so incredibly grateful not to be a youngster today. They don't have a clue how to actually build anything. Nor do toystores have anything resembling a decent model section anymore. Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool!

That K'Nex build is actually pretty elegant. Being an 'old fart' I have no idea where one obtains K'Nex though. Title: Re: Lego Folding Build - Too Cool! Post by: Morebitcoinsplease on July 25, 2011, 08:47:03 PM Im impressed with the K'Nex one that had to take some time to construct it. But I wonder how fragile it is, can you move it as one piece if you had to?
