Yes! I've always wanted to do that! (for some reason)Make a cabinet, it will at least be a good conversation piece. Make a real nice wood one and lacquer it

Make a miniature case that looks like one of those late 40s "suitcase" roundies.

Yes, yes, a period-correct dollhouse roundie. Hehe, some lucky girl would have the only one in the world... and a WORKING one, too! By the time she is done telling her friends about it, she'll be hooked for life on how cool roundies are, and will do her part for the rest of her life to help to preserve them for future generations...


Well, maybe not all that, but it would be a very cool little thing. Can't think of a better use for that tiny monitor screen!

Yes.... I have been.... In fact, just yesterday I built a small speaker box out of two 32-ohm Sony boombox speakers and a wood-reinforced cardboard shipping box driven by my pro-ject headphone amp (330mW per side at 32) Not bad driven by a lossless iPod...

Your boombox speakers remind me of the cardboard "cabinets" we four poor GI Army roommates in Germany put together years ago (1970) using Warfedale eight inch woofs, and mylar tweeters. Hooked up to a Sansui 5000X, they sounded pretty darn good for little money. Still have the tweeters and crossovers.
