New Mac Mini concept

New Mac Mini conceptDesigner Sait Alanyali is a proud Mac Mini user. So proud that he designed his own. One of the problems he has with the current machine are the I/O ports. It’s a hassle to plug things in and take them out. Hence the “V” shape. It puts the ports within reach while keeping cables tidy. The shape also comes in handy by improving cooling as air moves freely through the heatsink.

Hard drives are hot swappable with a 2.5″ hd installed and an empty slot to use any way you like. It also features an HDMI port and does away with the power brick because this one has it built inside. Another new feature is the embedded logo display. It sports a sensor inside that detects it’s orientation, so that the logo is always facing up.

Wow. Pretty amazing design. Chances are we will never see it’s like.

Firebox now offering Crap Wrap

Firebox now offering Crap WrapFirebox is known for their oddball gadgets. We’ve covered our share right here on this site. Turns out they’re offering a wrapping paper service along with their gadgets. Crap Wrap features brown parcel tape instead of clear tape, the gift will have uneven edges and paper that was cut very wrong. Just select that type of wrapping paper when you check out and you can send these off to someone special.

The idea is that these gifts won’t look so professionally wrapped. Which will make them think that you actually wrapped it. Because everyone knows you wrap gifts like a grade school kid overdosing on Ritalin, while using the awkward green-handled lefty scissors.

Crap wrap. Not to be confused with crap rap, which usually involves Vanilla Ice.

Tire Tread iPhone 3G case

Tire Tread iPhone 3G caseHere’s an iPhone case that’s a bit different. If you’re in the market for a case for your iPhone 3G, but you “tire” from the search, this may be for you. The Case-Mate Vroom Tire Tread Pattern Case features 100% impact resistant rubber and it’s only $15.

Its rubber case can protect your expensive phone by cushioning the blow of impact of course. But there’s an unseen danger most users ignore. What if…Just what if it slipped from your gadget loving hand? The tire tread pattern will prevent iPhone hand slippage and at the same time send others a message. Presumably, “Don’t tread on me.”

What could be better, or tackier then making your iPhone resemble a stinky and putrid rubber tire?
