Rig of the Week: Cool Cube mod

This week's rig comes from reader nash_h, who modded a Cube to look like a tiny Mac Pro. First of all, we love Cubes and secondly, this is one sweet mod. Nice job, nash_h.

droors838, I'm shocked and dismayed that you would dare to call what transpires here as "journalism". -- SubGenius

Journalism (according to Merriam-Webster):
-noun
an academic study concerned with the collection and editing of news for presentation through the media or the management of a news medium.

I would have to disagree with you when you say what transpires here is not a form of journalism. However, one could argue that TUAW seems to lack journalistic credibility that is required of a legitimate news medium.

droors838, I'm shocked and dismayed that you would dare to call what transpires here as "journalism". A very dark day for the industry for sure.

If you (TUAW) had actually read the description of each image he admits that it isn't his mod and it is actually the "G5" Cube mod.

I agree with "Perhaps a more rigorous set of entry criteria should be established."

andrew harrison: You are correct, sir.

Whether nash_h is guilty of stealing the work of another modder is irrelevant. What concerns me is that no attempt was made to verify the authenticity of these supposed mods (ie. Rigs of the Week). Perhaps a more rigorous set of entry criteria should be established. Regardless, that's some sloppy journalism TUAW.

Not a bad rig. Just confusion about who created it. It's an excellent looking rig.

I'm not sure if anyone of you know that the current Mac mini was created with the exact same dimensions as many 3rd party card radios. This was done on purpose as apparently quite a few companies went to Apple asking for this.

This might just be a rumor but it seemed like a good reason for having those exact dimensions.
