Gizmodo recently heard from Matt Turner of Tuner Tricks, who just completed a Mac Mini A/V project on his Volkswagen GTI. Matt's workmanship looks as clean as a non-stock mod job could be, with all components and hookups either placed out of sight or accented with very cool brushed aluminum. The hub of the system is a 1.42GHz MacMini with 512mb RAM (Superdrive, Bluetooth and Airport Extreme), hooked to a Xenarc 7" USB touchscreen monitor and Cirque EasyCat USB trackpad, enough USB and Firewire hubs to run NASA's mission control systems, a 40G iPod dock, an Alpine Multimedia processor and controller and a Griffin USB FM/AM tuner. Ignoring this is not an option.
