That thing is badd A.
I like it but have one question. Could the phone/ipod be damaged? Is the connection strong enough to hold it up on it's own? The docks I have seen all have the phone/ipod sit in a little dip.

I would think that as long as he attached the iPhone cable securely to the piping, it'll hold the iPhone up well enough.
I dock my iPhone on a Logitech PureFi Anytime. I couldn't use any of the fitted adaptors for the iPhone/iPod that it came with because I leave my iPhone in it's case. Essentially, my iPhone sits right on the connection and makes no other contact with the dock. It sits solidly enough.
Well I tell you had had my questions to when I was building.... but here is what I did...
I put a small rubber bumper behind it and it holds it up pretty well.
Ah....I see it now in the pictures now that you mention it. So functional I didn't even see it.
Do you plan to do another one? Maybe out of different materials or different design?
I like using the PVC cause the cost is cheap and i do have another design in mind using PVC and plexiglass
Great concept and initiation, it looks awesome. I would go ahead and finish it off with some bondo work, smooth it out and paint it so that it looks like a solid one piece structure and close the gaps around the USB port. That would be awesome.
Nice! The aesthetics are a little rough, but can be completely ironed out when you finish it, painting mostly. Otherwise 10/10
I cannot agree more. To be honest I think he should patent this design and sell it to the makers of M-Stand and similar stands. Cable management is one thing, yet cable routing and hiding is pristine!!
Great job OP, simply great. I await your second design towards perfection.
This is awesome! I like how you integrated a dock connecter and USB port in the front. Very nice usage of the end of the pipe.
Have you considered putting a fan near where the bottom of the computer goes? That seems like a logical addition.
Thanks
But I haven't thought about fans. In this particular setup I think it would be more of a hassle.
wow .....this is what everyone is saying!
I am gonna have to look into that
Do it soon, before someone else does. I'm serious.
Wow looks really good man! Tell me when you'll be selling it
Well if you would like one I guess I can take your order..
I love the idea, but Paint it!! It would look so much cooler if you painted it the same color as the Mac itself.
