mac mini mods: the ultimate collection

Japanese modder Hideo Takano must really, really love his Mac Minis. He’s gone over the top by producing not 1 or 2, but 7 different Mac Mini casemods, each with a unique look. Let’s start out with this classic Macintosh Quadra inspired Mini.

Mac Mini Quadra Casemod

This is my personal favorite, the LEGO Mac Mini. I wonder if you could stack a bunch of these together to form a supercomputer?

If only the real Mac Pro were this compact.

Mac Mini Aluminum Casemod

While this one might look like a fuel canister, I wouldn’t recommend pouring any gasoline into it.

And while this variant on the aluminum Mac Pro isn’t a dead ringer like the other one, it is a bit more compact, and features a nifty pop-up USB port and power switch.

    Oh… and don’t forget to check out Hideo’s Mac G5 Cube mod. It’s just awe inspiring.

  2. Oooh, I had one of these on my site today. Did quite well on Reddit too.

    Spooky coincidence eh?

    ;)

    I have just one question here, i want to buy MacMini for graphic programs, like Adobe and Cinema4D, how about Mini configuration, is it will work perfectly in this program? Or makes slowly?
