    I want to build an MP3 Player into something cool :) so I need mod ideas - any original household item that I can mod a Pentium 133 mobo, 24 megs of ram, and an AT power supply into :D (The power supply can come out of it's box :) )

    go to a room with lots of stuff, close your eyes, spin around while pointing (careful, don't break anything :D ) Stop suddenly and mod whatever you're pointing to. Repeat if necessary :)

    build it into a couch... with the controls built into the arm of it... and naturally you might wanna consider getting better components so you could also use it for movies... ok maybe that's a bit too much...

    building it into speakers would be cool, but arnt speakers magnetic?

    Would think that would cause some problems with the drives...

    It all depends on the speakers but a lot of speakers that are made to go near a PC or TV are already 'shielded' what they do is put another magnet around the one that drives the speaker to cancel the existing magnet out (opposite polarity).

    Any CD-ROMs I have tried to eject vertically do not like it. I wanted to have a CD-ROM cut into a desk ejecting upwards but it made a horrible clunking noise when you press eject.
