DeLorean Mac Mini is very interesting example of using of Mac Mini as a car movie theater. The car is 1981 DeLorean DMC. The system includes:

  • 1.5 GHz Mac Mini G4, 1Gb RAM, 80 GB HDD
  • Projection center and mirror
  • Tether box
  • Basic Stamp Brian box and liner actuator

Here is more details and photos.

I’m thinking about Mac Mini (but Intel-based) as a home PC. It includes many features, has excellent design, small form-factor and reasonable price. Only one I don’t like (personally) Mac OS. My wife Maria prefers Windows and me - Linux or Windows too. Mac OS is very specific and not prevailing operation system. It’d be nice if Apple starts to support Windows and Linux after moving to Intel processors :)
