Yes, that was understood and appreciated, especially for the link. The "mini skirt" looks cool. I'm sure that that will be the first of many. Their existence, especially so soon, validates the premise of this thread.

In the image I posted, as well as sunilraman's images the slices fit flush with the aluminum body of the mini: Now that the mini's airflow requirements are apparent, this type of slice would have to make allowances for this by channeling …

TranceFire ~ The all singing all dancing Mac mini Slice! Well I suppose that once enough of those "pills" kick in, I'd be moved to take the dance floor like John Travolta, but chances of that aside, you have defined a very nice niche set of slice…

I think it's clear that the Mac mini is never going to be the complete answer for viewing TV in any form on it's own. Add on's will be needed to make the Mac mini your TV tuner, PVR, or Home Theater System. These add on's are already on the …
