Challenge: MP3 Player, Retro Case

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

As you see circling the internet occasionaly, some of the awesome mods people are doing with MP3 players and old unused gaming accessories, and other items (http://www.ladyada.net/make/minty/).

My challenge is this: make, or strip down an existing, mp3 player and mod it into something awesome.

 

Hello 1990 Zack Morris Cellphone Brick MP3 player! Sega Genesis Controller! Sony Walkman Cassette Player! Classic NES Controller ( example: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39837)

 

The possibilities with what the container is... are pretty limitless, so maybe something showing how to either create your own MP3 player, or salvage an existing one

and adapt it into some sort of zany enclosure that will please and delight, while giving general tips and advice to your audience on how they can incorporate your chosen method into their own stylings.

    We've talked about making an MP3 player on the show and I like your idea to stick it in a zany enclosure.

     

    Thanks for your idea- we'll keep it in mind as we plan future episodes!
