Cut the post off the base of the CDR case.
Drill holes to mount the board
Drill two holes for the AA holder so you can secure it with a zip tie.

Step 4: Cut the Top
Cut the top of the case to fir the speaker and make four holes for the nuts to hold the speaker in place.
Step 5: Switches Etc...
drill three holes for your stereo jack, switch and LED.
So you might want to solder your power switches, led and stereo jack up now.
The case opens up so leave plenty of room to open and close it.
I used the resitor just soldered to the leg of the LED as shown here.
