Speaker mod turns iPods into shells of their former selves

There’s certainly plenty of reasons not to turn a pair of iPods into some portable speakers — difficulty, inevitably poor sound quality, pains of regret — but we’re guessing that the sight of the creation above will prompt at least a few folks to start scavenging for parts. Apparently taking some lessons learned from previous Altoids tin speaker mods, Jordan Horwich crafted these for a total cost of $100, which includes the cost of some front and back iPod panels and some rather extravagant shipping rates. As you might expect, the entire project is a tad tricky, and involves a good bit of soldering, plus some Dremel work to make everything fit just right. Hit up the link below for the complete details and parts list.
