Sweet! Now to build a streaming music player in it and call it Pandora’s Box. (Too obvious? Sorry.)
A side note: Thank you for posting a still photo along with the video. I work in a low bandwidth environment and usually have Flash content blocked. A still photo helps me decide if I should unblock the video and wait for it to load (which I’m doing in this case).
This is such a simple and cool idea. I’m going to try it tonight after work.
As for the streaming music player idea, I dont think a can would be big or strong enough.. I’m only saying that because I HAVE recently built an embedded linux streaming music player for last.fm and I’m looking out for good box ideas
Heres my attempt at one:

I really enjoyed making it, thanks for the great instructions!
Wow, I love this!
