is there a real PC case inside there and did he just build the lego around it? i'd really worry about heat and such like if there's not.
No, I don't think so... here's a picture of the innards of one of the computers:
Looks like the LEGO-case and the components were built together at the same time.
I honestly think the garish colours, blocky shapes and tacky "houses" are exactly what makes this so great. It's like... the complete opposite of cool. Which must be HOT!
And the point about running out of colours is a real one... many of these blocks seem like old blocks, and those are often impossible to find in stores and must be bought from collectors. Blocks of some colours are quite valuable, actually
