I'd only want one if it came with the Steve Jobs bobblehead! Devilish2.gif It would be very complementary to my own bobblehead!

It is kind of cute but that 68000 software base is hopelessly out of date.  I liked the guy who was replacing the original MAC innards with an actual Mac Mini and an LCD display; kind of a mish-mash!

And what about these folks who shoehorned a MacMini into a video camera:

When I first saw the thread I thought it was about putting a Mac mini in the original Mac body. Several have done that. Hardest part seems to be finding a suitable screen.

I'm thinking of mounting an LCD display and a MAC Mini in my 5 flavors blueberry iMAC case.  I'd build it into an SE case if I had an old SE case.
