PlasticSmith mini Shack adds USB ports to Mac mini stand

By Barb Dybwad

Not too many details on this yet, but word is that PlasticSmith, makers of the
mini Skirt, plan to make that Mac mini pedestal way more useful by adding seven powered USB ports to the unit. Based on the mini Skirt's basic design, the mini Shack takes the next logical leap from bus-powering the base itself to actually using the base as a hub. Right on. No word on ship date or pricing, so we're really hoping this thing isn't vaporware (the image at right is only an illustration). If PlasticSmith doesn't do it, somebody else please put us out of our two port misery in a stand-like fashion.

[Thanks, Jacob]
