While watching this, I had the same idea: what if one attaches a real display and puts in a small compute unit like a raspberry pi? I think there are already some maker projects combining Lego with a Pi. A Lego/Pi PC would be a great thing!
So this explains my brick (see what I did there) headed commend on the original community post, I've never heard of this brand before, so I just learned something new 😁(I'm sure when you saw my post, you were like "you've never heard of Pantasy before?" -- but alas, I have not.) Definately interesting though as a person who enjoyed legos and Duplos as a kid.
@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR I will give them props though, the level of detail they put in is quite amazing. I would assume their other sets use the same level of detail, but definately worth a purchase if you are a fan of Legos, Bricks, and Duplos.
"But what about Windows ME?" 😂 But seriously, there's an untapped market for brick sets of classic computer models - not just generic white boxes. Would love to see GridCase, Compaq LTE, Compaq portable
Just wanted to let you know that I found my AOL 4.0 version 1.6.3 install diskette if you would like to try to install it on a native Win3.1 machine. I installed AOL 4.0 under OS/2 Win3.1 and the diskette drive read the disk fine. I made a copy of the disk as well.
Forget Lego, if someone is going to sue them it will be PCChips because they invented the motherboards with hollow plastic bricks replacing actual components 😂
Maybe you could try looking at beta versions of Windows? There’s some interesting stuff floating around in those like the fact early versions of Chicago have the unused ability to use explorer tabs the Windows 8 start screen esque activity centers from Neptune and beta ME or the variety of weird things from longhorn like Microsoft MAX or WinFS (which interestingly near the end got a separate installable beta release for Windows XP sp2 before being cancelled)
I enjoyed the video but I am a little sad the reply guy with the funny voice didn’t speak and only made two quick visual appearances. I seem to have grown attached to him and his pedantic ways.
Sorry, not one of your best videos. That graphics card obviously uses a custom chipset, so at the very least I was expecting a demo of it running _Doom_ and/or _Commander Keen._ Please conduct a benchmark at your earliest convenience.
Yes, you‘re totally right. Let me check if I find matching software. Though without taking it upfront, already the 2D stats were really bad, as even the desktop is rendered brick by brick. Graphics performance is not it‘s stength, I‘m afraid. And It doesn‘t run Crysis either.
I am honestly suprised with the interactivity of this set (even the insides!) and its external appearance of the back. Nice work
Some Geek? I want to see you do this :D A Raspy inside sounds like a fun little project. NIce one GP. Thanks!
Okay okay, I‘m doing it already … ;)
Yeah, and a CRT.

Nice bricks and great job. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

Actually I was not thinking anything like that, as I never heard of them upfront either.
First timer for me as well!

I would love to see "some geek" put a r-pi into this PC ;)
If I had some more money on my hands, as well as space, I'd love to have this myself.

Fully agree! Just thinking about the space requirements for so many brick models ^^

Thx, will look into it.
Neptune‘s already on my list.

Was also waiting for Mister Know it all :(
@mlies37 no worries, something tells me, he‘ll be back sooner than you think … ;)
Buut can it run Crysis?
Very very slowly…? ;)

@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR Oh my God, are we talking low-res blocky and slideshow-like framerate graphics here?
@@Thiesi unfortunately yes. Maybe I can do a short patch-up video showcasing it.
But you need to bring a lot of time, I won‘t be using speed-ups!
