I've seen a lot of people make their own stereos from car radios, I've seen a lot of people make their own computer cases, but as far as I can tell, mine may be the first to have both. (I could be wrong though)

3 days of my life well spent.

In these pictures you'll see my progress through building my computer/boombox.
A lot of test fitting pictures are in here, as well as pictures of it in it's current state, it's 99.9% done, I'm just waiting on the handles/hinges to dry, the hinges are gold in the pictures, but they're silver now, the handles were roughed up and worn so I gave them a nice fresh coat of paint.
It's currently installing Windows 8.. very little left to do!

This is the most fun I've had building something so far!
About 90% of this was built from things I had lying around the house, with the exception of the headunit (was given to me) - and the lumber for the outer frame, the front latches to hold it closed, and the radio antenna on the top. Overall, I I spent around $35.
Speakers came out of my blazer, power supplies I had lying around, front USB header came from the same old computer that the motherboard came from, monitor I've had lying around for nearly 3 years waiting for something to use it for.
I may have missed something, but nonetheless, enjoy!

Too many pictures to put in thread, uploaded to imgur album instead: http://imgur.com/a/8P2lr
Here's a few sneak peeks before you decide to dive into the album!

They are in some places. I'm waiting for my belt for my belt sander to come in and I'll smooth it out and repaint
