“So you can generate enough energy to power an iPod?” I ask.
“Definitely,” Wang replies.

Dave Veloz made a retro-future-tech-punk Mac mini mod that would make the director of Brazil proud. There’s tons of detail with this mod and it has a tiny footprint, thanks to its use of the Mac mini for the computer.
