Thanks for your interest. There are some renderings here, but the video would be much more helpful. Here is the link: http://www

As for the comments, I’m not a 3d software renderer. I’m a product designer. I know this is not a Mac Mini for Apple to produce. It’s just a concept, a visual expression of my imagination and my experiences with the product.

After watching the video and some details, I’m sure some of you will change your minds 🙂 Don’t forget it’s just a concept.

And by the way, there’s a new concept, Mac Tower, be sure to check that out: http://www

Cold air enters the unit at a point that is higher than the exit point for hot air, and a fan isn’t present? That won’t happen on this planet.

A compact design that is no longer compact. And if I needed a car wheel stop, this wont do it, as the corners would will slide too easily.

It’s really important to understand the balance between function and form. However simple and attractive one may find Sait’s design, we should also ask ourselves: how much of this design is “necessary” and how much of is “3d porn?”
