and vacuforming a case for it?
then sending it ff to a CNC place to have it made in metal
and then finialy made into an injection mold?

No, I didn't consider such "looks complicated and expensive" thing.
Having a RepRap 3D printer looks much more simple and cheap ;-)

you can build one for little or nothing
out f a airhockey replacement bord a hoover and a big sheet of thin plastic
and a lamp to heat the plastic to flexible
and drop it over the item switch on the vac and thus you made a mold
hell you can have aglist a temp case in 5 mins
till you can git the 3d printer

Sorry, I don't understand how to do such thing. Would be easy for me if I could read and see pictures, example of such works...

Ok Wow .... your doing wonderful work .... how long before you have a wiki up on how someone with only a little build experience can do this....
When will there be a test on the ATA interface??
Also is the any thought of designing it with a passive RCA output for home stereo?

PS: Where are you in Portugal ..... my girlfriend is from right outside Porto ..... if you need to reply or message me in Portuguese ....

1: can somebody give me a summary of where this project is?? has it gotten to a point where its just about ordering hardware and putting it together or still in heavy development??

You just need to buy the player on Ebay. After get the Rockbox SVN and build the bootloader and firmware for Mini2440 board, and after flash the bootloader on Mini2440. Firmware is placed as the music files, on SDCard.
You can get more info here: http://lyre.sourceforge.net/?q=content/mini2440-porting
And the video showing the system playing audio: http://lyre.sourceforge.net/?q=content/ladies-and-gentlemen-we-have-sound-mini2440
And I am very busy right now. I will try to answer other questions later or even better, I hope that Bob can also answer them ;-)
