For a real challenge, try to do what the Russians do and build your kitchen into the Mac Mini!
If you "get" pointers add me as a friend (116)!
The submitter really asked for it, didn't he?
Also, a hint: If you have a G4 Cube you wish to hide in your kitchen, merely replace the current heating elements in your oven with the ol G4 Cube. It is both sightly and functional this way.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
have just completed a copy of SpaceShipOne built entirely in Lego... It is hidden, but I tell you that everything works perfectly..
Sorry, this sig is beneath your current threshold
That's nothing - I used to use a VAX 9000 as a wall. And a furnace.

His next project involved building it into another spot. That is why the page could not be displayed!
The solution is to make sure that the MacMini has Aqua pre-installed. You have to do it the proper way with the installation disc. Merely splashing it on the case will cause trouble.

Apparently, he built his webserver into the wall as well, and his house in on fire.
Here's another nice use of a mac mini, it's even easier to install:

Sounds a bit implausible to me.
On a hunch, they rip open the wall
"Hello, can I help you gentlemen?"
"By my calculations the server should have been right about... here"
"What the dickens are you doing in my office?"
"Jones, fetch me a sledgehammer"
"Right away, professor"
"What are you doing.... Noooo!" [crash]
That funny comment reminded me of something I saw years ago touring the old Commodore plant in West Chester, PA.
Somewhere in the piles of stuff I have accumulated over the years I have a picture. It's a picture of a picture frame encompassing an internal floppy drive embedded in the drywall behind it.
The story goes that an engineer was up all hours of the night trying to debug a problem with his new floppy drive circuitry. After hours and hours of fruitless troubleshooting, he discovered that the problem wasn't with the circuitry, it was with the drive itself. The frustrated engineer picked up said floppy drive and whipped it at the wall - where it became one with it. The picture frame was later added for decoration.

Just the wires are. The MAC is under the cabinent.
Actually, the MAC is inside the case, on the network card. The Mac is under the cabinet. (Well, OK, technically the MAC is inside the Mac, so the MAC is also under the cabinet, but still.)
I put the thing in the friggin' silverware drawer.
Problem solved! Next!
Yes, for the love of God.
Stop the world; I need to get off.
erno: hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
It's pretty darn small. Why all the work to hide a good looking box?
blah, blah, blah
ugliest website yet created.
Seriously, someone should tell this guy about the iMac. It's like Apple did all the work for him.
