DIY iPod boom box
The new iPod Hi-Fi looks really cool, but who has $350US
sitting around doing nothing? Why now whip up your own solution from the parts you probably have sitting around your
house right now? That's what Phillip over at Make:Blog did. Buy hacking an iPod speaker unit together with an old pair of Apple Pro speakers, a modified iPod dock and a nano, he's made himself a working, though slightly unattractive, iPod speaker system. Nicely done. Here is a Flickr set for your viewing pleasure.

He couldn't have just plugged in any old pair of speakers into the dock? Instead he had to mutilate a lot of toys to get something that you can get without all the cutting and snipping.
Also, did you read the link you posted? It says DIY iPod nano Alarm clock.

You were just kidding with that "slightly unattractive" line, right? LOL

Why not just hook the speakers up by the headphone jack?

Or you could just buy a 1.8mm to phono adapter and walla no soldering no holes drilled.

Well, they said hack, not engineering. Powered Speakers with a iPod dock would do the trick.
I choose neither, I'll just plug the line-out into my vastly superior stereo system.
