Other World Computing (OWC) and NewerTech now are offering four acrylic accessories for Apple Computer’s popular mini – the NuStand mini, NuClear mini, NuBlue mini and NuShelf mini. Prices range from $24.95 to $39.95. To read more about the new line, visit http://www.newertech.com/macmini
“The biggest appeal of the mini is its size, said Larry O’Connor, president of OWC in the press release. “Our new accessories take advantage of that size to improve its functionality. You can hide it under your monitor, sneak it under a desk or put it on a pedestal.”
The NuStand mini is a curved acrylic stand that allows you to slip the mini underneath and a monitor on top. The stand supports CRT displays up to 22 inches and LCD displays up to 30 inches. It retails for $39.95. The NuShelf mini attaches to the bottom of a desktop or shelf and allows you to slip the mini inside. It retails for $34.95. The NuClear mini is a perfectly cut 0.75-inch piece of acrylic plastic that raises your mini off the desk. It retails for $24.95. The NuBlue mini is the same perfectly cut acrylic base but with a cool blue glow. It retails for $29.95.

I wonder if Plasticsmith is going to like this.

My 17″ CRT has a base of 11″ wide by 9 1/2″ deep.
I wounder if a 22″ CRT would actually fit on a stand?
I like the Grandstand Steel by Plasticsmith best.
The one visual drawback to the mini is, it is so short that all the cords are visible out the back, if it is on top of your desk. Although these stands hide the cords they also hide most of the cool looks of the mini.
I’m sure we’ll see many mini accessories in the future. Too bad companies are already copying one another.
Has anyone put a cinema display directly on top of their mini? How well does it fit and does it interfer with the wireless features?
