This project is a bit confusing but here goes: a guy got a broken 13-inch MacBook Pro. Most of it was water damaged but the mobo was fine so he unsoldered everything and made it into a little caseless computer with an external screen and hard drive. He discovered, however, an odd little case that was shaped like a Mac Pro but was about as big as a Mac Mini. With a little sass and vinegar, he install the MacBook Pro into the case and created the aptly named Mac Pro Ultra Mini, essentially a tiny Mac Pro.
This seems like a great winter project: recycling old gear into new forms. While we don’t all have dead laptops lying around, is there anything you’re probably going to throw away that you could turn into something cool?
This is kind of awesome. How long until we get a parts list and a video tutorial?

What a great idea and an amazing amount of work! Wow and it’s beautiful, too. Now why can’t Apple make something like this with a PCI slot for a real video card and 4 RAM slots?
He should grind that nasty Dell logo off the front of that monitor, because it certainly ruins some of the effect. Seeing it makes me a little queasy.
BTW, that’s a 13″ MacBook NOT a MacBook Pro, they’re aluminum and only 15″ or 17″.
This is amazing.. and I want it.
