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!
Last week, Scott wrote about a poor Powerbook that had been badly damaged, but 
I like the
eMac. We have several at my day job, and they're solid and reliable (and low cost, to boot). Alas, they drifted quietly
out of existence. Have we heard the last of the low cost, all-in-one Mac?
