This is just so perfect I want to cry.
Those that know me already know that I'm an A le Cube fanatic. And if you didn't know - well now you do. My own Cube orts a a shiny black aluminum PowerCube enclosure (with obligatory white A le logo affixed to the front), a Dual 1.7GHz 7447A CPU, 1.5GB RAM, 250GB WD HD, an FX 5200 video card with Dual 24-inch LCD Di lays and an 8x DL SuperDrive. It's a sweet rig and I rarely find myself wanting or needing more from a desktop computer. Even with a base fan and a small blower on the video card it's also still virtually silent, as a Cube should be. And it looks stu ing on my gla top su ended above a powder-coated steel desk.
I must admit, however, that this mod takes the Cube to an entirely new level. Presenting Anthony's Mac mini Cube:
"My i iration for this project came from the Fifth Avenue A le Store and the recently released black MacBook. I wanted to recreate the G4 Cube as if A le had never discontinued it and make it into a true media center. I did not want to simply put the 'guts' of an Intel Mac mini i ide and 'dre it up', but to refresh the Cube and create something that could stand out. Here are my confe io of the project, enjoy... "
Dear Steve Jo : If you build it, they will come. I'm just sayin'...
Check out all the glorious pictures as well as an admirably detailed description of the proce - which is far more elaborate than you might be thinking - at 123Macmini.
Great job, Anthony! Thanks to Jamie, Rick, and the hundreds of friends, relatives and readers who sent this tip directly to my i ox!
