poor man's zune dock

Neonez · 02-26-2007, 04:40 PM

While playing around i found that my zune fit perfectly into a free playing card box had received from some promotional event i had gone to so i decided to make me a little zune dock. since i was going to ruin the the box i might as well use the cards in it. they are easy to useand i had an extra 45 or so just in case i screwed up ;D

so here it is. sorry for my awful camera handling abilities :P

The dock is pretty easy use but you have to push the connector and push the buttons to get it in and out. but hell, its better than having to pay for the real one

and yes thats an intel pentium 4 dell and yes i am going to get a new computer

Thats actually pretty nice. I'd seriously buy one.

i hope your dock goes well. mine would be a bit too complicated to put in instructions and i probably couldn't do mine again let alone make instructions for it so your work is not a lost cause.

I might if i buy an official dock or i can manage to make another one. what i like about mine is that i can take the cable out easily and just use it as a stand

I saw one made of legos for an ipod once...i think you could do the same for zune if someone wanted to take that path.

i'm thinking about riggin up a charger version of a dock that maybe runs off a 9 volt...does anyone know what voltage the zune charges at?
