i have finished this project since this picture was taken but it was the only one i had handy to show.
i put a small shelf that has no supports on the wall next to my LCD in my bedroom and use my Mini to surf the web and stream videos from my external HDD connected to my apple extreme.
i really like this Mini.
to make it look better which is why there is unfinished parts of the wall on that photo i put a cable line out and electric right next to the shelf so that there are no wires coming down to the ground.
if you want one to do something like i did and dont want to spend a lot of cash then do what i did.
i kept looking on craigslist until i found a cheap "INTEL" mini that someone that didnt know any better would sell cheap since it was old and had an old processor. i picked it up for $125 and it was an Intel 1.5 Single Core Processor. i then bought a 2.16 Dual Core 2 off of ebay for $210 and put that in place of the original.
i now have a mini that screams and only have $335 in it. it doesnt have the new graphics card that is offered but it has DVI out and handles 1080P movies that look great on the 32" LCD.
Mini's Rock!!!!!!
it turned out great and i will post some better pics when i get a chance
ooh the reason for all that patch under the tv and mini shelf is that my stupid wall had studs going horizontally as well and i had to drill holes through it from the outside wall in order to feed my cable and electric line through. there is also patch above the tv as i initially had it to high on the wall and i felt like i was in a hospital bed
