Macessity offers new Mac mini stands

Section: Apple, Mac + Computers, Desktops, Mac mini, PeripheralsMacessity today introduced two new stands for Apple’s Mac Mini desktop computer. Both stands, the M4-Mini and M-Mini share a similar design - one that matches a Mac Mini perfectly with its 0.1085-inch thick steel, coated in an aluminum color. It is leveled with non-skid rubber pads to prevent it from moving whilst on your desk. The stands are designed to sit on top of your Mac Mini, allowing you to place any display that weighs up to 60 pounds. The M4-Mini is a more expensive model that features a built-in, self-powered USB 2.0 hub - that allows you to extend your Mac Mini’s USB connectivity by an extra four ports. The M4-Mini will cost $59.99, and the M-Mini will cost $44.99; both will be available on April 28, 2008.
