Using the same basic architecture, a more cosmetic desktop version is in the works, as well as a rack-mount version so that Mac Mini clusters can be easily and quickly devised. A Provisional Patent Application has been submitted, and Apple has been contacted to see if we can get at their supply of proprietary power connectors; that's a tough part about installing a Mac Mini in a car; whether you use an inverter and the Apple power brick or a DC-DC converter. (see the Carnetix forums for more.)

The cost is (are you sitting down?) $400 apiece,  and you'll have to provide the Apple power supply, or hook up a DC-DC converter yourself (I'm just offering the mount, I'm not going to get into the liability/warranty issues of doing surgery on your Mini!). That's cheaper than the Japanese version. I wish I could offer it cheaper; if I received a large mass order, I could have a pieces CNC'd and have parts in stock. Until then, each one is individually handcrafted. Still interested?  email me lazzwaldo@mac.com
