Working prototype: Mac mini car dock
We’ve seen a thought experiment for a home media
center already, but someone’s gone and actually made a
working prototype of a Mac mini dock ideal for car
use. Made of milled aluminum stock and perforated for ventilation, this device would be very handy for porting your
mini from car to desk to whatever is the next great frontier of mini expedition.
Aaron, who sent us the tip, brings up a good point: without an extra power brick, the portability factor this provides will be somewhat limited…
Thanks, Aaron!

Yeah, I've been trying to find an extra power brick for mine so I could more easily move it from home to office and back again... So far, no luck.

It is most likely 12V DC which is what comes straight out of the car. It's just a matter of finding the right socket converters.
