Have you ever wondered why the coffeemaker in your kitchen doesn't have a subwoofer attached to it? Us too! And if you're going to put a sub on there, you might as well include a Mac mini, right? And when you really think about it, isn't the only case worthy of holding all that stuff an iMac DV? It just makes sense.
That's why, we're guessing, tinkerer Klaus Diebel put together
this incredibly useful device that will make your coffee, play some thumping tunes, and do your computing tasks as well. He tells us it was something like that -- he really enjoyed the look of the gumdrop iMac, and has experimented with it a few times, creating
both a mailbox and a birdhouse from the computer's case. And this one just sort of snowballed -- when he found that the Mac mini's optical drive slot fit perfectly with the iMac's slot, without any alterations at all, it had to happen.
And we're glad it did. The iMac is
an exceptional little computer with a very distinctive form factor -- if you have to put a coffeemaker in the thing just to keep it on your desk, so be it!

Seems like a fun mod, but all that coffee near the Mac mini seems risky. (I don't let anyone with a cupful of liquid near my computer.)

Gee, thanks, now that you mention it, my coffeemaker could use a new subwoofer!

That mailbox is absolutely the best.

Too clever by half.
Worst. Subwoofer. Enclosure. EVAR!
