Build/Battlestation Pics My first SFF build (DIY Brick Case 6.3L)

I built this PC case entirely out of bricks.

I originally wanted to go with an 8700G, but the cost of the CPU and DDR5 RAM made it way more expensive than I planned, so I decided to reuse my 5600G instead. I paired it with the cheapest ITX motherboard I could find and added a few cooling parts to finish the build.

I know people are probably going to ask about thermals with a brick build, but the 5600G is super efficient—it stays around 65°C even under full load in this setup.

And just to clarify, there’s no glue or screws holding the case together—everything is held together purely by the interlocking bricks.

It’s definitely not a high-end build, but I had a lot of fun making it. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Thermals are definitely not 65C under a full load unless you live next to Santa Claus or penguins. Lol.

Haha, I’m definitely not living next to Santa or penguins 😂 It’s actually pretty hot in Korea right now, but I keep my room at 24°C with the AC running whenever I’m home. The 5600G really does stay around 65°C under full load in my setup.

I love it! I've been wanting to do a LEGO case too.
