I built a Batman-themed Lego PC case

[kraai]

The guys from NAG Magazine asked me to build a Batman-themed PC case entirely out of LEGO, using MSI hardware as the foundation.

It started as a group project, but a few weeks ago I took the time to refresh the exterior and completely rebuild the interior. This time, I built the frame and internals freehand out of LEGO Technic for strength and structure, and I reworked everything into modular panels so the case could actually be opened and serviced by non-LEGO people. The “Batcomputer” control room and dressing room area even split neatly into two sections.

I honestly don’t know how well the airflow compares to a proper case — there’s a big opening in the front, which isn’t ideal, but it runs smoothly and doesn’t seem to struggle with heat. The build is heavy but manageable, and sturdy enough to hold real hardware without feeling like it’s going to collapse.

And yes, there’s a little Easter egg: Homer Simpson IS Batman! For anyone who ever suspected Homer might be the real Dark Knight, this build confirms it.

Specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600KF
• Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI (MS-7D91)
• RAM: 32GB Geil RAM
• Storage: 2TB MSI M480
• Graphics: MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
• Liquid Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID C360
• Chassis: Custom LEGO Batcave

After finishing it, the case went back to NAG, and I believe they’ll be giving it away in a competition.

Happy to answer questions about the design, or share more detail shots if people want to see the modular system, Batcave interior, or the Homer-as-Batman Easter egg.

Nice! 

 

I can't say that I remember Homer Simpson being in Batman, but then I haven't seen all of them.
