Apple Macintosh Classic / Mac Mini Mod Tour

This a one of a kind Project ... THE MAC MINI CLASSIC.
Better than a MACquarium.

This project takes advantage of the size difference between the new mac mini and the old Mac all-in-one machines.

It is basically a mac mini with the added benefit of a compact display. all of the mac mini's vast functionality is left intact. just plug into an outlet, and you're ready to surf the web via Ethernet, Watch DVDs, burn cds ... everything you can do with the standard Mac mini with added style and a built in display! (mouse and keyboard not included) all of the mac mini's ports are avaliable on the rear of the case (except phone port, sorry).
Don't forget you can also use the display as a TV via the RCA cable if you want.
Case is from an original Macintosh.
I like to think of it as the first generation iMac.

i'm thinking of doing this as a business on the good ol' interwebs. it would basically be like you could send me your old macintosh (whatever model you want) and pay for the mac mini, and i would put it together with some insane specs (retina-ish display, removable "guts"(internals), and ya.) please respond if you think this would be a good idea, and please give me ideas on how to improve it. also btw i thought of this idea before i saw this video, so im not copying you bro... lol thanks! :)))

@TrexTech1 Sounds good. I think you definitely need some deeper motivation than just money to accomplish something like that though. there are a lot of engineering challenges to be addressed and it probably won't add up to much money being in it for you. but if it's something you want to do for fun anyway it will probably work out.
