This is a really simple project and only requires the following:

plexiglass
black spray paint
utility knife
straight edge
superglue
ipod cable
100 ohm resistor
soldering iron and solder

Basically its a disk II faceplate elevated with some black-painted-plexiglass strips superglued to the sides

It would be sweet if you could put the iPod inside the floppy then eject it when finished...
