Has anyone mounted a Mac Mini to a Studio Display to create a 27” iMac? I wondering how possible it is to eliminate from view, most, if not all the cables and hide the mini behind the monitor for an All-in-One look. Pictures would be great, if available.
Got a tip for us?

There's a ton of options if you have a 3D printer. I don't have my Mac Mini anymore but when I did, I printed something like this and it worked great. It felt like running a 5K 27" iMac.
A few Etsy sellers are selling these mounts too.

That's pretty good. That's basically what I did with my backup drives on my iMac. From the front, you can't see them or any wires.

I was about to post the same thing. I used a Twelve South shelf behind my 27” iMac for years to tuck my external drive away out of view and I’m sure it would work just as well with a Mini and a Studio Display. I think I paid more like £40 for my shelf, but it was beautifully made and very Apple-y!Simplest thing I have found, and currently on sale for $5!

Thanks. I went ahead and got one even though I was thinking more about my next machine. For the price, it’s hard to go wrong. My hope is that the new Studio Display will have essentially the same base so that this will work on it.Simplest thing I have found, and currently on sale for $5!

The BackPack arrived today. Nice, especially for under $13 with shipping. All wires and the drives are out of sight from the front of the iMac. Definitely sturdy enough to hold a Mac Mini to a Studio Display.
No problem, just aesthetics. That’s why I have an iMac. If I found myself frequently needing access to the ports, I may set it to the side. Or, I’d do what I did with my iMac and find a hub that integrates with the stand. Look at the picture above and notice the base on my iMac.
This is my vesa setup.
