Many of us have fond memories of some of the very first computers we used.

Now you can relive some of that nostalgia with these cute retro tech Lego builds, harking back to the days of floppy disks, CRT monitors, and old video games.

They've been created by designer Chris McVeigh, who sells these custom builds on his website.

Like "My Old Desktop," a combination of the brown desk, with a computer (the "Pal edition" is pictured below), plus an assortment of peripherals like a business card organizer, a cassette tape, and a calculator.

Of course, you can't talk about classic computers without mentioning the Commodore 64.

There's also consoles and gaming scenes from years gone by, immortalized in the form of the toy brick. All the memories.
