Mac Mini 2011 with Internal Blu-ray Drive : POSSIBLE !

[geeji]

Using the hardware hack described here and the new 9.5mm slot-in Matshita UJ-167, it is finally possible to have a Mac Mini 2011 HTPC including an internal Blu-ray drive (or even a burner, with the UJ-267).
And using MacGo Blu-ray Player For Mac, you can even view Blu-ray movies on your Mac...
But considering the ridiculous price for the burner ($400), most people are likely to opt for an external (much cheaper) drive.

Or buy a PS3.

That's pretty nifty. I wouldn't do it myself because I've gone away from Optical drives almost completely for the last 2-3 years anymore (other than ripping DVD's), but it's pretty creative at least.
