    Default Cigar box turned computer amp.

    I had some left over parts from another project and needed a amp case for the computer amp I had. So grabbed an old cigar box and almost done. It works for now, I may tidy it up a bit on the inside.
    Here's what I started with.

    The inside.

    The Back.

    And final location.

    Thanks for letting me share.
    Thanks ,

    I built one of these a couple of years back. I've been on the look out for nice cigar boxes ever since. These make great gifts for desk stereos. I watch for powered computer speakers in the thrift stores and pull the amp. I put the amp in the cigar box. They're pretty cool and a lot of fun.

    Also, one of my operators at work is a Cuban expatriate and is bringing me a cigar on Wednesday. I sure hope DHS or FBI employees leave me alone long enough to smoke the dam thing

    I'll ask him for a box, but his english and my spanish... You should have been there when I was trying to explain how to program a universal remote control
