mac mini mods: the ultimate collection

August 22nd, 2008 comments (5) stumble it! digg it! by: technabob

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.

You can check out the other machines in the collection and additional photos of the mods shown here over on Mac Mod Lab (in Japanese).

    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?
