However, emulators like Dolphin, BSNES, etc. would cause the Mac mini's fans to spin up like turbine engines — much to loud for my liking. I am asking /. what hardware you recommend for building a passively cooled mini-system that will server as a media center's emulation station."

The problem is that I used my laptop during my periods of feverish deliriousness, contaminating my shiny 15" MacBook Pro with the icky influenza virus. I am asking my fellow Slashdotters if they have ever sought out a good way of disinfecting their lucky laptops after an illness. Do you use soap? A light acid bath? Just get the family dog to lick it until it looks clean? What say you oh magnanimous and healthy Slashdot masses?"
