| Member Posts: 62 Join Date: Sep 2009 | I am thinking about finding a thin box (the size of a thick laptop cooler pad) , venting it & putting some peripherals in it like a usb dvd drive,external HD, usb hub, fans etc etc.., and attaching it to the bottom of my mini. So that I had all that I needed in one package. Anyone ever done this? edit: a quick mockup I threw together..... http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1412/laptoppod.jpg |
