Chosen Solution
Hi! I recently acquired a 100% functional Mac Mini from a recycler, the only catch being that the outer casing has been destroyed, and so the guts of the Mini are exposed, and it’s not really in re-saleable condition. I’ve looked into replacing the casing, but it seems a little silly to spend $50-$100 that people are asking. Does anyone have thoughts on a practical alternative to Apple’s Mini case? I’d prefer something on the practical/discreet side, as opposed to goofy and outrageous. Thanks!
How about a nice ammo box. Lay it on its side, cut the top for the CD drive. Larger boxes could be used for extra hard drives. Comes with a carrying handle. http://www.amazon.com/Military-Ammo-Wate… For a bigger box, use the 50 cal version: http://www.amazon.com/Military-Surplus-C… Here’s a bunch of various goodies: http://www.colemans.com/ammocan.htm Consider using the dome from a iMac G4 with out the screen attached.
Here is one that mayer came up with on Meta that I really like. http://www.pcworld.com/article/170973/co…
How about buying a cheap generic mini-pc case? You can also often get those with a built in power supply, which is useful.
