Bricked: Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 Built with Lego
This is a graphics card that won't fit in your case or run Crysis.
Some people like their graphics cards; others love them; and still other people live for them. Xiaosheng Li loves his GTX 690 graphics card so much that he built one out of Legos. Yes, Legos, the Danish-made construction toy.
To build it, Xiaosheng used 11,396 Lego bricks, with the end result being a six foot long, two foot wide behemoth. The project took him three months as well as 10,000¥, equating to about $1640. To design the card, Xiaosheng used the LEGO Digital Designer software.
The graphics card might not run Crysis, though it does have a working fan!
For more details on the project, read his forum post at the TechPowerUp forums.

hotroderx If I was Nvidia I offer to not only buy the lego card but also hire him for marketing. The kid obviously has some talent for engineering even if he used a program to help design it.Reply
