I know, it's not a miner, but the build is really beautiful and may give someone here some interesting ideas. http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=572 |

I'm not familiar with the cost/availability of Legos so I'm wondering how much a build like that would cost? |

Second that. I have a few old boxes lying around but nowhere near enough of the right pieces.. 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... EDIT: trying now: http://ldd.lego.com/download/default.aspx |

Look through the rigs thread. I'm pretty sure someone in there has built a K'Nex rig to support his/her cards  |

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.  |

I believe you're thinking of an Erector Set. Went out of style with the chemistry sets... Sharp edges and chemicals? 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. |

That K'Nex build is actually pretty elegant. Being an 'old fart' I have no idea where one obtains K'Nex though. |

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?
