1942 Philco Radio Violated Upgraded Into Mac Mini Media Center

Depending on your point of view, gutting a vintage 1942 Philco radio to install a Mac Mini, 17-inch Sony touchscreen, a Sony DVD/CD/receiver with a 2.1 speaker system, and EyeTV for recording shows could be considered an upgrade or an unforgivable sin. Either way, Grandma will have the most badass system in the retirement home. [TUAW]
