this thing will make the mini overheat even more, I have to keep mine sideways to be semi-ok. Should have came with a build in active cooler on the bottom, that would be nice.

From the OP: "The accessory also has built-in air vents that regulate temperature of the Mac mini." You mean like that?

Good design. I'd like to see the same case but connected by Thunderbolt and with two M.2 SSD bays inside it.

This is for stuff you temporarily connect like flash drives, I don't want all my permanent connections dangling out on to my desk like Power, Ethernet, HDMI, Speakers, Hard Drives etc.

Personally I think this is a really great design.
