Almost twenty things to do with a Mac mini
Granted, with all the software available for the Mac (over 10,000) you can do just about anything with your Mac. But the mini can go some places a full-size Mac dare not go. Therefore, I present to you, almost twenty things you can do with your Mac mini. Here's hoping we all get one for a [insert your calendar-based holiday gifting preference here] present. Wait, you're not holding out for the new mini in January are you?
- Mount it on the wall
- Mount it in your car (examples here, here, and here)
- Use it as a Media Center (a few people are doing this, with more here)
- Make it into a robot (did anyone finish translating this?)
- Make it into a robot that can drive your car (OK, so it takes 4)
- Use it as a touchable stereo (or use it as a plain stereo, but either way you can use it as an alarm clock)
- Use it as a server
- Put Linux on it
- Take it apart
Control it remotely via your Newton
Turn it into a MAME cabinet
Use it for toilet paper storage
Strap it to the subway
Cram it inside the Millenium Falcon
Control your house- Run your business (using iWork, Office, and PhoneValet)
Paint it- Paperweight (does this need a link? feel free to post your Flickr picks of the mini in action here— or inaction as it were)
Calculator
So what other uses (aside from a computer, duh) can you think of?
