Is there anything you can't do with Lego brand toy building bricks? Probably -- but we're not here to dwell on the negative. In this space, we've seen everything from a USB charger (http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/12/steam-powered-usb-charger-keeps-your-ipod-alive-with-victorian-s/) to a 3D scanner (http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/23/3d-scanner-made-entirely-from-legos/) built with the things, but if you still haven't had your fix, Luke Anderson (the Lego computer (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/monolith-esque-lego-computer-makes-us-want-to-pick-up-a-brick-se/) guy) has full on, step-by-step instructions for building an enclosure for your Linksys WRT54GL router. It's stackable, all the buttons, LEDs, and ports are accounted for, and your young child can break a small piece off and choke on it. In other words, it combines the functionality of a router with the charm of your favorite toy! Ready to dive in? We thought so... hit the source link to get started.
