If you really must have a standard non-painted case as a 2nd case. Just simply search for it on eBay. I say eBay, because on some Mac parts websites, the top can go for over $120. But you can find one on eBay from time to time, for easily $50. Sometimes you can even get one for as cheap as $20. Some also even come with the bottom housing and AC adapter brick.
I learned this, well because I got a 2nd top enclosure off of eBay and well, painted it flat black.

| I can't imagine anyone wanting to change the color of their Mac mini to bubblegum, but I guess that's what makes the world go around. Retro on the other hand is pretty cool. Call me plain, but I don't think you can do better than the Mac mini's silver and white color scheme. It goes well with a majority of the gear out there. |

Really? For some reason I thought Colorware was a bit more competant then that...
