I don't know why anyone would do this, but a Japanase engineer was able to squeeze a Mac mini into an old Apple Macintosh SE/30 shell. Not only that, he got to hook up the old computer's grayscale CRT. Silly, but I have to admit, it's a neat feat.

Re: Mac mod: a mini in a Macintosh SE/30 shell That's so cool.
It's something I would do with a Mac SE, because the SE already has two slots (on the dual floppy drive model), and I would use a color LCD (a 9inch 1024x768 LCD) in place of the original CRT.
Also, the SE/30 is still a very useful machine (it makes a compact, efficient, network services device: DNS Server, interoffice mail server, low load web server, File server, CD-ROM server, etc. Just configure, plug in and go.), so it would be a waste to throw out its innards.
