HOWTO: Ruin a perfectly good Mac mini

Kevin Rose, a host of G4TechTV’s The ScreenSavers, saw the Mac mini and thought what everyone else thought, ‘Why don’t I rip its guts out and cram in a PC logical board and processor?’ Before you scoff keep in mind that his ‘new and improved’ Mac mini doesn’t have an internal CD drive (since there wasn’t any room left due to the size of the motherboard, or mobo as we pros call them).

Oh, the humanity! If you have young children you might want to ask them to leave the room before you look at the details.

Maybe I should post a project where I put a Chevy engine in a Ferrari. Well almost, I have to mount the fan and radiator on the outside of the hood but it's better right? Cause more people drive a Chevy, right? If more people use something it's better, right? Please validate me, I'm afraid to think different.

And, he had to cut the heatsink in half so the sucker (if they were even able to start the conglomeration) probably makes a great toaster. Bunch of idiots :-)
