Corona iPod wall dock from scratches (with home built speakers)

I was just playing with the idea of making an iPod dock, different from those that you see almost everywhere nowadays.

So after seeing somwehere a design for a lamp that makes light by its perimeter instead that directly, iI had the idea of making the Corona iPod Dock.

The light is provided from an unused solar garden lamp, so if you put it in your house where it receives some sunshine during the day, it will autmoatically shine in the night and will act as a nice lamp too.

It uses only materials you can have around your house, and is designed to be hanged on the wall.

The speaker are homemade, with very basic materials. The audio quality is not excellent, but the volume is good for a small room, given that you can make this dock in 10 minutes, it's not so bad, isn't it?

Fantastic idea with the solar light! I may use that just as accents to place around in areas that get a lot of light during the daytime...
