The Mac mini has been deputized into a number of uses besides being just a desktop computer. The mini has acted as a video recorder, a home theater (HTPC), and even an in-car entertainment system. And now you can add “high-density web server” to the list of uses, too. Though they’re not quite as thin as we’ve come to expect from blade servers, according to the folks over at Network Jack, they’re excellent (if somewhat portly) high-density web servers.

Check this out, how cool is that, and it’s relatively energy efficient compared to a normal pc equivalent. It’s got a picture of them all stacked up, on a serious note though, price per watt is going to be a lot cheaper than blades – your development/test/proof of concept grid solution?
