    WTF!!! That guy has more money than sense I think.



    Butchering a Mac mini for less than 2 hours of battery life and a 90% drop in disk capacity seems like a huge waste of time and money to me.



    An iBook would have done exactly what he set out to achieve - the iBook is practically a Mac mini with a LCD, keyboard and pointing device included. Plus 4 times more battery life (at least)... Oh! and covered by Apple's warranty



    The Japanese art of Chindogu best describes this hack.

    I think it was more of the fact, that he could do it, that he did it. It's quite apparent that he could of just used a laptop.. but thats not what case modding, and computer modding is about.

    Yeah, and a 4 cylinder engine from a Hyundai could be installed into a Corvette because it can be done... but it'd still be a fracking dumb idea.
