The trick is in one of the photos.
It snaps apart.
You have to have either 3 pieces of thin sheet metal or the equivalent to a buncha finger with flat head screw drivers on them.
Once you do that the fingers in the mini look like they slide right out. No screws at all to hold the cover on, from the looks of it.
/me thinks of many ways to mod this thing
To go a bit further, based on the pictures from MacNews.de and the ones on Apples Site (both of which I have mirrored locally) My suspicions are confirmed:
[link|http://www.gregfolkert.net/pics/technical/MacMini/designinsides20050111.jpg|The uncased Picture from Apple.com] and [link|http://www.gregfolkert.net/pics/technical/MacMini/P1020297.jpg|This picture from MacNews.de] show a recipe for easy pickings.
If you look closely you'll see what I mean. The front is visible in both picture. Plus you can see the Fingers in the Apple Pic, and the "Ventilation" holes in the MacNews pic. Betchya the have a "Fingers" setup for them.
Tell ya one thing... these things are easy to put together once apart.
