We got the base of the unit. We don't have a 3d printer, so it was sculpy to the rescue. Designing the throat for the speaker cavity was a bit of a challenge. Namely James wanted to add an amplifier to the project, but given that we started with literally a week until the deadline. We ultimately decided against. 

Have'nt tested the board since we made the base unit. I un-wittinly baked it with the sculpy.(Dangers of watching a young child and trying to complete projects) But that's ok, cuz radio shack had just one more unit, and yes it was still on clearence. ;) Told ya the first one always gets fried for some reason.

Here it is with the board, speaker and switch adapter in.
