Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case

Posted by timothy on from the why-do-you-ask-why dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Running Debian (or Linux generally) on a Mac mini is old news. Silas installed rechargable batteries inside the case, delivering a couple of hours of runtime while retaining the small form factor. Although it runs fine without wires, he had to plug in the monitor to be able to show that it was really up."

    What exactly do you do with a Mac mini that you can't get any visual output from, especially one with a lifespan of two hours? It seems pointless to make it mobile.

    Wireless network games? Find the server before the batteries die?

    C'mon, who really gives a crap that some geek put batteries in his mac mini. This article is hardly worth the kilobytes it occupies.
