Sweet. Kinda like a really large black MacBook. Only larger, slower and probably more expensive. :-)

My question is a practical one.... (see last image) Why does this dude need all that gear to shoot erotic movies?

Since the MacBook's came out this seems a little unnecessary, and the MacBook's are faster ;)

Very nifty, but get that man a real mouse! In the year two-thousand-and-six, mouse pads should be something we speak of only in the past tense!
(And a BT mouse would rid the rig of one more unwieldy cable.)

It looks like something soldiers are suppposed to use in the year 2024, to control fighting robots.

WOW! A computer that's actually portable! Think of all the work I could do -ON THE ROAD! Technology just amazes me...

isn't this precisely why the laptop was invented?
Side note; there are custom fitted matte boxes for powerbook and macbook pro screens...

What the hell??? Seriously, has this guy ever realized that he probably spent enough money to buy a macbook pro on building this thing, not to mention that it is probably pretty slow. And he even has to plug it in.
LOL.

Why not just buy a Macbook? Puzzling.

At first, it looks like the dude wanted a rugged/mostly-waterproof package... then he goes and cuts holes in his Pelican box... not sure what his motivation is here.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

The only reason I could see to do this would be to get the 23 inch display.

I noticed the cut pelican case too.
This is so lame just for that reason alone - it should not have been put on this site...
I can see a few good reasons for a pelican-cased mini with big-ass monitor setup - but not with a hole in the case.

Talk about over-thinking the solution! There are many holes in the case- for fans and power as well. I cast another vote for "why?"

For all you folks raggin on the guy. Whatever happens to good ole fashion doing something different just coz you can. He probably had a Mac Mini an wanted to ruggedize it a bit maybe he hust wanted to do it just because... Its OK its his money and time. Remember though that some people just like to tinker and build things it doesn't always makes sense to everyone.

That's pretty cool. I think someone should make a carying case for a mini that's like carrying padded sleeve or something. Then I could bring it on trips and just hook it up to a TV in a hotel room or something. that would be pretty cool.

Sweet. That takes some skills, it's impressive how neat the setup is. That's the kind of mac setup I'd bring with me on a trip to Antarctica.

I think its cool, i have a similar setup without a case, but i want to built one like that. i have 4 external fw hd enclosure ,
( 250, 250, 160, 120 ) , macmini G4 , and a Nec 19" Lcd, i want to put all that in a Pelican Case, im thinking of the 1610 case without foam. And for sure, i wont drill holes in the case. i need a solution for the power supplys of the external enclosures, im thinking of putting AA, C, or D, series of Nimh Batt.
I have linked a setup i made a while back , now its dismantle since i have 4 enclosures.
I think the minikit is great expept for the holes in the case.
