Why on earth you'd want to do this is completely beyond me but anyways it seems someone had some spare time and a couple of hard drives spare and decided he really needed an iPod speaker dock:
"We know what you're thinking, why would you ever turn two decent hard disk drives into tinny speakers when it's much more logical to use them as storage and buying cheap speakers instead...
but if you're the kind of mad scientist who likes to see doohickeys function outside their intended use, or have friends who'd be really impressed or amused, you might want to consider recreating this classy speaker set complete with transparent glass case and the requisite blue lights. All the instructions lie beyond the read link, and if you're not quite convinced, we think the video after the break is likely to change your opinion for the better."

Can't imagine the fidelity is that great. The concept of a speaker is actually pretty simple, but with such rigid materials the quality of reproduction and volume/watt doesn't seem like it would be worth the effort.

Fucking great song!! Pendulum kick ass. Yeah, speakers are good, too. But mainly cos they're playing Tarantula. So many memories with that song. Good times.
