Simple: Get creative.<\/p>\n<p>One thrifty Reddit user did just that, sharing their <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/OLED_Gaming\/comments\/1n5lv2w\/i_built_this_using_a_cheap_oled_monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\">DIY PC build <\/a>featuring both a $60 1080p OLED panel and custom-built housing using Lego-style bricks. Known as Choi, the creator revealed they&#8217;d never even touched Lego before attempting the project. They told me that while shopping online, they were looking for something cheap to push the total value of their basket over an amount that would qualify for a discount\u2014and that&#8217;s when they spotted the bricks.<\/p>\n<p>Electing to translate their own answers from Korean into English via ChatGPT, Choi told me, &#8220;Once I received them and started building, I thought, &#8216;This is fun!&#8217; That\u2019s when I wanted to try making a PC case with it. I\u2019m not a Lego expert at all\u2014just a beginner who started less than a year ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As such, there was a lot of trial and error. &#8220;I worked on the monitor, keyboard, and main body separately as modules. I don\u2019t remember the exact time, but altogether it took more than a month and a half,&#8221; said Choi. &#8220;I\u2019m the type who can\u2019t stand it if the build isn\u2019t sturdy or if the monitor screen ratio isn\u2019t just right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Choi wasn&#8217;t just taking to the bricks for the first time; this was their first DIY PC build <em>period. <\/em>They wrote, &#8220;It was actually my first time assembling a PC myself (I usually only used prebuilt PCs), so I asked a lot of questions in Korean PC communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1080px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:95.83%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"kGap38hqzSjqjt7WRuAAji\" name=\"Lego PC close up\" alt=\"Retro-style PC housing built using Lego-style bricks.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rather-than-buy-a-brand-new-pc-case-one-redditor-elects-to-make-their-own-out-of-lego-style-bricks.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1035\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Choi, OkDebate6649)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1080px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:95.83%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"uoFrirenfrCAKEbCBwj3gi\" name=\"Lego PC close up\" alt=\"Retro-style PC housing built using Lego-style bricks.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rather-than-buy-a-brand-new-pc-case-one-redditor-elects-to-make-their-own-out-of-lego-style-bricks-1.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1035\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Choi, OkDebate6649)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>They also say that though their build has a distinct throwback look to it, they weren&#8217;t using any particular machine as a point of reference. So the Apple logo on this distinctly Windows machine? That&#8217;s just a bit of fun. Choi explained, &#8220;People say the overall shape reminds them of the Apple II, but it wasn\u2019t meant to copy anything specific\u2014it\u2019s my own creation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Choi has also made a number of other creations using the same bricks, including a &#8220;retro Commodore-style monitor case,&#8221; as well as &#8220;a desk clock combining an old iPhone 6, and an audio deck shaped like a radio.&#8221; They would like to keep building, but don&#8217;t currently have any future projects planned.<\/p>\n<p>As for the PC that started it all, here&#8217;s the biggest twist\u2014the rig in question was never intended to primarily be a gaming machine. It turns out Choi&#8217;s main gaming machine is, in fact, a console. &#8220;I only play games on PlayStation, so I didn\u2019t need a dedicated GPU,&#8221; Choi explained, &#8220;The build is a simple office PC with a Ryzen 5 5600G and 16 GB of RAM.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"kjxvEjSFXFj2VjGXkNH4qQ\" name=\"Lego PC build\" alt=\"Retro-style PC housing built using white Lego-style bricks.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rather-than-buy-a-brand-new-pc-case-one-redditor-elects-to-make-their-own-out-of-lego-style-bricks-2.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Choi, OkDebate6649)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"9CuEw8sJqgJCyDszGQqBVQ\" name=\"Lego PC build\" alt=\"Retro-style PC housing built using white Lego-style bricks.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rather-than-buy-a-brand-new-pc-case-one-redditor-elects-to-make-their-own-out-of-lego-style-bricks-3.png\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Choi, OkDebate6649)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Choi&#8217;s brick-by-brick PC housing is not only charming, but a timely reminder that, as with any hobby, everyone&#8217;s got to start somewhere.
