I just built a nice mac mini hack into a mac "cube" .
Part of the hack was using 2 of these;

I used the empty version

Very nice piece of gear. here are the xbench scores with one unit holding a pair of hitachi 500 gb in a raid0

second set is with a pair of samsung 64gb series 470 ssds in a raid 0

i am also posting a photo of the mac mini build you can see the mac mini and here is a link to the full mac mini build

tomorrow I am posting about 7 shots of this piece of gear. It is very well built and is working very nicely. the xbench scores are also nice and the mini runs fast.
here are inside shots of the gear. I am about to install the pair of 64gb new samsung ssd's series 470. you can see two philips screws allows the faceplate to come off. this aluminum is a good gauge and the unit has nice rubber feet to prevent marks. note to modes I have about about a dozen photos please forgive consecutive posts.
