Classic mini jukebox

Here's an awesome project from over at 123Macmini-- James Colby hollowed out a Classic Mac, and stuck a ripped apart mini in there along with a new LCD, took Finder out of the interface and sent it straight to Front Row, and bingo-- a Classic mini jukebox. And I especially like that the Classic was named Morris and the (10 minute old) mini was named Frank, so together, they're Frankenmorris. Cute.

It's a tight fit to get all that stuff in there and working, but it's even more amazing that he was able to get everything out of there-- as he said, he had to cut the front off of the CRT. The front also looks nice considering he made a few cuts there, to let the floppy take in a DVD, and another hold for the IR receiver.

But the end product looks great. One more reason why the mini, despite recent rumors, should stay right where it is.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Y'know, it really only seems that you and AI keep predicting the mini to die. No one else really does. We all like it. ALOT. It got me to be a mac user. It's not going anywhere. Stop with the death sentence stuff, it's getting annoying.
