Lusting at the Apple Hi-Fi ipod boom box? How about making your own MP3 'Lo-Fi" for USD 46. The geeks at PC Mag who put this  'how-to' together say "Unlike the iPod Hi-Fi (which leaves your iPod exposed to the elements), the iBoom Lo-Fi completely encloses and protects the iPod, so you can take it to the beach, on a picnic, or just to the kitchen while you paint the trim. You too can build an iBoom; it takes a minimum of tools and a bit of ingenuity."

Real nice.
