Why not go all the way? (Score 1)

If space is at a premimum why not embed the monitor in the wall also? Put the mini behnind the montior and mount the monitor on a piano hinge so it doubles as an access port to the mini. Then you don't have to mod the mini at all and you end up with a much cleaner install. Just extend the ports to a wallplate and your done. Go a step further and use a touchscreen monitor, then use a Keyboard Viewer to do all of your typing.
