5th April 2016

When you first see the Lego PC you just think how unbelievable it is and how someone had to be incredibly creativity to do it considering how difficult it must have been to accomplish. What’s more to back that point up of how difficult it must have been it took around 2,280 LEGO pieces to construct according to the creator Mike Schropp, and when it comes to size it stands at 19-inches tall by 14-inches wide and deep.
