Spartan_X Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Mac mini in a Nintendo mod As we have mentioned in the past, we like well-done mods and hacks. We could do without sloppy paint-jobs or jagged dremel cuts but well done hacks are neither of these. That's why when we saw this Mac mini in a Nintendo shell we were instantly enamored. We don't have all the details on this hack as the original hosting site seems to be suffering from the lack-of-bandwitdh effect, but from the Gadget Review and Gizmodo we can tell you that this isn't your normal computer in a Nintendo hack. The hacker in question managed to incorporate a tray-loading DVD burner through the USB Bus, which opens and closes with a single touch of the reset button on the Nintendo. In proper fashion, the power button even works as a power button for the machine?ingenious! The crown jewel of this little beauty is the fact that the controller ports are fully functional as controller ports that work with an emulator. We think this one might even make the folks over at Opposable Thumbs drool a bit. Source:b> Ars Technica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
