Kevin Rose (from TechTV) got a mac mini (lucky...) and guess what he did? He stripped the mac mini of the apple parts and stuffed PC parts in there! WTF?! HIS SITE DESERVES TO BE HACKED BY A MACINTOSH! what an idiot...
not to mention sinces theres so little space, he placed the hard drive ON TOP of the heatsink. Anybody who's ever built a PC knows that the airflow is so constricted on that thing, it'll problably blow up from overheating after a few minutes.
idiot...

I'm sure he has the heat under control.
He probably used small form factor parts, which have rather good heat dissipation. I've seen 1U servers that packed a huge number of components into a small space and worked just fine without overheating.

I'm sure Kevin Rose has no idea what he's doing. He obviously has no background in technology.

Apparently you're all overlooking the fact that he did it to prove a point...not just for the hell of it.

It's too bad he couldn't put a slot-loading cdrom in there. ( That's one of the coolest things about all the new Macs, IMHO - no cd trays to knock and break accidentally.
