While the iPhone and iPod Touch are pretty good for watching movies by yourself, what about those times when you want to share? Having a group of people huddled around that relatively small screen can be pretty awkward, so this mini projector dock from Honlai Technology seems like a good alternative, at first glance at least.

While it’s quite a bit larger than the official iPhone/iPod Touch USB dock, when compared to other video projectors it’s downright tiny. But that compact size does cost you when it comes to image quality.

While the 640×480 image resolution is understandable, the ANSI brightness rating is a less-than-stellar 10-15 lumens, and you’re looking at a contrast ratio of just 200:1. So while it’s able to project an image that’s roughly 15 to 27 inches in size, don’t expect a similar visual experience as you get from your local digitally-equipped movie theater.

The dock also features a mini AV jack allowing you to connect other devices as well as a set of 2W speakers for stereo sound.

Featuring a “14-inch screen, AMD Athlon XP 1700+ processor, 20 GB HDD and 512 MB RAM.”

It takes a special sort of someone to look at an old clunker of a Windows laptop and think, “I’ll turn that into a Mac,” but Phyro-Mane of the Case-Modder forums is apparently just that sort of person, and while his results certainly won’t be fooling any Mac faithful, they’re definitely admirable.

Phyro even went so far as to add a sheet of plexiglass to simulate a glossy screen and, naturally, turned to a Mac OS X theme for Windows XP as a finishing touch. If you want to give it a shot yourself, you can find all the details (in German) plus plenty of pics of the entire transformation process by hitting up the read link below.

Very handly and extremely usefull if u need a place to store some of your private stuff but it’s not really the safest place in the world … so you better don’t keep your most valuable objects in here.
