|

I use a large wooden bankers desk for my Mac setup. I was looking for a kind of organizing stand not to mount my Mini; rather, I wanted something that would sit on my desk and provide some shelves for router and cable organization without being fugly or being too expensive. All of the custom Mac Mini solutions I have seen are very minimal or are meant for mounting the mini to the wall or underside of a desk. At first I thought I was going to opt for a rubbermaid desktop organizer; however, my wife insisted that it was too large, ugly, and obtrusive. I searched and found that a telephone stand from innovera worked great.
Here is a picture from Newegg, but I purchased mine from Amazon for under $20 including shipping.
The colors are very complimentary to a Mac Mini. I use the bottom two shelves for my ethernet gateway and router and the Mini goes on top so it can stay cool and visible. The shelves are large enough so that cables can also be stuffed in there to get them out of the way and to keep them from being an eyesore. The nice thing is that if I require more storage area I can simply order another tray and it all stacks vertically with the Mini always on top. I feel like my desk has been liberated from horizontal creep to vertical organizational beauty.
Anyway, I hope this helps someone out. _________________ Proud Cube owner. Oh, I also own a 2011 2.7ghz i7 Mac Mini. |
