Wow, the World Community Grid is an awesome project!
When Mike Schropp set out to create a new computer, he just wanted something faster than his previous machine. On further thought, he decided to alter his plans slightly to donate his computer’s off hours to helping cure some of the world’s crappiest diseases. As a self-professed geek, Schropp felt that the best way to give his new machine a unique feel was to turn to the building power of Lego. The result is a thing of beauty that would be a fitting addition to any nerd arsenal. (via This Geek Uses his Lego Computer to Fight Cancer)
