Mac mini Maximized With 3.5" Drives

Posted by timothy on from the battleship-aesthetica dept.

Demolition writes "You just knew that someone would get around to this, didn't you? In this how-to article from AppleTalk Australia, a step-by-step guide describes how to transplant a Mac mini into a micro-ATX case and a method to connect standard 3.5" hard drives to it (using do-it-yourself 2.5"-to-3.5" IDE adapters). Only some minor case modifications and some added cooling are needed to complete the project."

  1. putting a mini inside an Apple // by BobWeiner · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone decided to mod their mini into a standard PC carcass. What's next? How about putting the Mini inside a vintage Apple II box?

    Since the mini came out, I've been hoping I can stuff it inside an old Apple IIGS (or, even better - a //e), just for giggles.
    Anyone up to the challenge?
