Just in case you want a new Sinclair, take a look at this:

I like the Sir Clive Sinclair figure. Now, if someone made a real Lego case for a real Sinclair..

I've got a ZX Spectrum+ sitting on my desk right now. It kind of looks like it WAS made out of lego.
I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to replace most of the case with lego, leaving a 'hole' for the oddly shaped keys that it has.

I saw this the other day linked from BluesNews, and I have to say, I'm not impressed.

I'm not putting down the SInclair or anything, just the Lego build itself. This looks like it took all of 10 minutes to put together.

Wonderful little first computer. I'm glad somebody paid tribute to it.
