This is one of the dumbest things I have seen lately.
No optical drive, no WLAN, no BT fit in...

WHY, for cryin' out loud ?

Thanks for the heads-up!

I love it! Love that heatsink! Love Darwin! Love natural selection! It will take care of this.

Cooling efficensy is absolute zero because..
1) fan sits against the top of the case
2) nothing extracts the hot air out of the case
3) hot air from CPU is blowing onto HDD

Looks like the case would not even close with the HDD in place but it maybe a bad shot.

If you can realate this to art, the only question you have to ask is "what did he try to say by that?!" He can't really qualify for G5 ripper wannabe [nowhere near yet...]

I would not say that there was any challenge here.
Apart from sawing off a block of aluminium.

They are all computers in the end but what did this one try to prove? That fact that MB fits inside the mini's box? I can see that from dimensions, thank you!

The only thing he proved was that he is an idiot.
He's now got a non-functional, stripped down PC and compares it to a functional, complete Mac mini. What a moron.

As someone said in the comments, it's about as useful as installing Linux on a dead badger.
