The LEGO USB Dongle 
-------------------

The whole thing consists of 7 1x3 bricks of which one is the cap for the USB socket, there are also
 two 1x3 plates at the top and the bottom to 'seal' the (w)hole thing. All glueing was made with 
 Cyan Oacrylate Glue - (CA). It may need a bit more work on the finnsh, but I'm pleased with the result.

The USB-memory is a Cig@r-Pro 32Mb memory. (www.cigarusb.com)

If there's someone thinking of doing the same thing I hope you can find a smaller USB-memory since
 this one fits only after extensive work up of the pices. Now it fits really snuggly though.. :)

Now to the real question, why destroy nice LEGO just to use it as shell around a piece of electronics?!

Not sure, but the main reason was that the orignal casing was really bad and was broken, to top it all 
 when using the USB device there where no place to attach the cap. That problem will now be solved! :) 

*Disclamer* (Sort of)

I have had the USB memory for a while and the idea to use LEGO as a casing came to me for over six month 
 ago but since I like my LEGO and I was hesitant to sacrifice any pices for this project it was dormant 
 for a while. It all changed recently when I went to a trip to US and got a chance to visit a LEGO shop 
 with Pick-a-brick, unfortunately they only had pink 1x3 bricks! Perhaps that was a good thing since it 
 would have been harder to 'destroy', lets say, dark grey 1x3 bricks!

I'm sorry to say that LEGO bricks was harmed during the work to make this USB casing.. However I sincerly
think that LEGO pices is far better suited for this than cheap LEGO look-a-like pices.
