Stick your Mac mini in Your Wall
This appeared on /. today, so I haven't actually been able to successfully visit the original site. Fortunately, Laurie was kind enough to find this link for me, which mirrored the pics from here.What's the point of all this pointing around the web, you ask? Well, some enterprising young soul (whose website has been /.ed into nonexistence) decided to incorporate a Mac mini into the design of his kitchen. The mini is actually built into the wall, with all the ports accessible via a custom wall panel. Unfortunately, there's no access to the Combo Drive in this design, so an external one has to be used. Nevertheless, it's a clever little hack that I thought I'd share with you all.
If you had a Mac mini, where would you stick it?

I've dreamed of creating an entirely mini-driven entertainment center in my house. Hook it up to one of those swanky flat panel tv monitors, an ElGato EyeTV, decent set of speakers, wireless keyboard and mouse, and replace television, stereo, and dvd player with the mini set up. Then ADD features that an entertainment center usually lacks, like web browsing, photos, iTunes music store....that'd be sweet

I want one for my car, to put where my current CD changer is now. I also want one for my motorcycle, but I don't think that is as feasible. I also would love one for a medai entertainment center dealy, but that would require software implementations that are currently unavailable.

Well, as for me, I'd love to put one in my car. But I would be satisfied with on my desk!

I would put it under my router, and run it as a dedicated server. That's about all I've ever wanted one for (other then replacing my mom's "BIGUGLYBOX").
