PlayStation Wizard - LEGO PlayStation conversion

—

Photograph by Max Maruszewski Learning to use an oxyacetylene torch was just the spark Max Maruszewski needed to set his interest in building things afire. Now, when he's not working on a school play or racing around a parking lot in the "wheelchair" he and a buddy made out of a shopping ...

Working PlayStation Made From LEGO
Tech Blog — ... Created by Max Maruszewski, this LEGO PlayStation "came from pure boredom -- mainly I just get bored and decide to go make something weird." It's fully functional, complete with controller ports. Click here for first picture in gallery. From what we can tell, he pretty much just gutted his PS and fit the innards into a custom Lego case.

The Lego PlayStation: Branding That Should Have Happened [Playstation]
Gizmodo — ... A high school modder completed this impromptu project one night in lieu of something better to do (sadly, it appears the poor kid has not yet learned the joys of drug and alcohol abuse). From what we can tell, he pretty much just gutted his PS and fit the innards into a custom Lego case. And we're fans of simplicity...though a Ken Kutaragi minifig turning the gears might have been a nice touch. [MAKE] ...

Lego PlayStation
Ubergizmo — ... Max Maruszewski has a great love for building stuff, and it is neat to see him come up with the Lego PlayStation. Now this DIY mod certainly smells of win, and if only the marketing executives at Lego and Sony realize what a gem they have on their hands with this idea. It would be interesting to see other consoles like the Dreamcast, Xbox and GameCube feature Lego bricks to form its chassis. Can't really say much about preventing dust from getting in though since Legos aren't exactly dust proof to begin with. ...

PlayStation in a LEGO castle
Boing Boing Gadgets — Max Maruszewski ripped the guts out of a vintage PlayStation and ensconced them into the dimpled, polychromatic plastic lining of a home-built LEGO case. It's not exactly a Ben Heck caliber hack, requiring devious intricacy on the part of the modder. But that's okay, it doesn't have to be: simple is not the same as being easy, and the simplest hacks are often the coolest. Playstation Wizard [MAKE via Slippery Brick]

Lego console wars: NES vs. PSX... fight!
Engadget — ... yawn this holiday season, so we thought we'd give you a console war with a few more interlocking plastic building blocks mixed in to keep things interesting. These two otherwise-unrelated case mods each bring their own strengths to the competition: while the Lego PSX mod might be more technically impressive, it looks totally amateurish next to the classy Lego NES stylings. But, like with all things in life, there can only be one winner. This is America, after all. Read - PlayStation in a LEGO castle Read - Console Nintendo NES LEGO Red Project ...
