Mac Mini's are cool, and I appreciate that Apple has some of the most experienced and talented designers in the world... But they put the power switch on the bottom. You have to lift it up and turn it over to turn it on and off.

I'd just get two toothpicks and make a seesaw to press it, although I pretty much never turn off my computers so I still wouldn't mind too much

Don't worry, there will be suitable USB accessories, for just 99$.

That's trippy. Try following the cable from end to end.
