I’m too impatient to wait for someone else to come up with this, so here’s a quick’n'dirty (working) prototype of a Mac Mini Dock so I can use it in my truck or Jeep as a CarPuter, then be able to unplug it and take it elsewhere.
It consists of milled aluminum stock (perforated for ventilation), ProPoxy formed around the connector ends, and soft/”female” velcro to give a firm but smooth slide on the sides.
What it doesn’t have is a good way to UNplug it yet; I will install a tug strap to be able to disengage it. All connectors are present except for the phone/modem line.
there have been concepts, but i believe this is the first ever real life mac mini dock. nice job!
This is awesome. Geese, the last few pics make it look like a big harddrive. That would be awesome to mod one of these into a pc case, so there would be two working computers in 1 box. Kinda pointless tho.
