I admit... it does look cool with a powder coated black finish... get this one, it's a steal...lol
This started life as an Apple MacMini G4 Model #7447A, 1500Mhz. It was the top end spec with max RAM and CPU and video card.
I wanted to build a customized mini computer to run MorphOS & Amiga apps & games. This is a one of a kind and unique machine.
I completely stripped it down and had it powder coated black, and the original top covered in carbon fiber wrap. The computer works perfectly and boots right up. I have decided to let it go as I really dont use it as much as I should.
You get the MacMini and the power cord only. The monitor, keyboard and mouse are not included. They are shown for demonstration purposes only.

Just imagine what you could charge for a mini with a Eddie Van Halen paint job!! ;D

Just a bit outta my price range…
But that “powder coated” black finish pretty easily approximated with a rattle can.
AND that carbon fiber wrap is basically contact paper (vinyl)… easily trimmed ‘round
that Mini plex top between the case after application… with a steady exacto knife.
Rattle can black - $6.00. Carbon fiber wrap (enough to do at least 10 Minis - $8.00.
Results... nearly priceless !
Viola! A $645.00 Mac mini! Get ‘em while they’re hot.
Eddie Van Halen Edition - at least twice that price! ;D
