Never one to shy from an case design, Calgary-based Voodoo PC's new Idol small-form-factor PC looks like a Mac Mini but comes with Wintel guts.

Starting at $899, the Idol, according to Voodoo's press release, measures 6.5 inches deep and wide and comes with an Intel Pentium M notebook CPU, a 7,200rpm Hitachi hard drive, and a slot-loading DVD burner. The boutique-PC company recommends the Idol as a second computer.

We wonder how much of the $899 price tag accounts for the automotive paint job?
