@NanoRaptor Speaking of NeXT it kind of bugs me that the Apple TV isnโt a cube, that would have been a nice nod to the NeXT computer and G4 Cube @NanoRaptor Oh my god it's adorable. What's it cost, twelve thousand dollars new and twice that on the retro market? @NanoRaptor back in the day I had a room mate with a cube and it was the dang coolest thing at the time. I was a very very early Linux user then, we didn't have X11 yet, and compared to *that* it was so so very polished. If they'd lasted a bit longer making hardware, what would the next couple models have been like, right? @NanoRaptor That case would be a great project for 3D printing (perhaps with a Mac Mini M1 board inside?), but magnesium alloys seem to be quite difficult materials for additive manufacturing... do you actually have a 3D model of it? @NanoRaptor I had a pizza box when I was at Canon, I never saw the mini, must have been a late addition before the company stopped building hardware |
