I think that is very cool! I have an old acer aspire 3610 and it would be amazing to do that!

No. It's XP. The dead giveaway? Well, for one, the username. Second, that guitar icon is one of the included personal pictures in Windows XP.

That’s a lot of work for something that comes up significantly short of the comoputer it emulates. I have a 24″ iMac, nicely equipped with both OSX and XP Pro. It’s gorgeous. Not just ‘real nice’ or ‘great design’ or any other adjective – it’s a gorgeous piece of equipment.
This, on the other hand, is kind of rude, ya know?

Better he spend his time (and $$$) recreating the mini.

man, it sure looks like he used the same mac osx disc for intel procs that I have. But, I don’t speak any german so I guess you guys are just too legit and know everything already.

why do people bitch about 'is this a hack?' so much.

omfg, this guy did something you probably haven't done, god forbid you think it's not very special. quit bitching.

doing something new with old hardware is always admirable.

At least this is upgradeable :D

I like the sig in that forum:

Real Life? Never heard of it, is it worth the download?

Clearly shows talent, it does look like an imac.

So… putting ps3/x360 in the new case is a hack, and modding laptop into new case is not? indeed they are not HACKS, but MODS, which this site often do not distinguish.Putting computer in spectrum case, putting game console in new case, omakling new case for a laptop, its all on the same level…

Mike, the creator is calling it an iMac Mini – it’s much smaller than the usual iMac.

So all he did was take laptop guts and put them into a new exterior case? I put laptop guts in an old brief case once, but that’s not hack-a-day worthy. And thats an imac look alike, not a mac mini.
