Something tells me that the sound quality of these MP3 Star Wars speakers will be on par with Vader breathing through his helmet, but you can’t beat the novelty factor. Pre-order for April 2012 in Vader, Fett and Stormtrooper versions.
The Boba Fett and Stormtrooper versions are pictured after the break.

Many of us have dealt with the question of what to do with our electronics after they’ve become broken, boring or obsolete. Spencer Shepard of Blue World Aquariums decided the best course of action was to gut his old Xbox 360 console and convert it into a fully functional salt-water aquarium.
After removing the innards of the Xbox, Spencer cut a viewing window, and inserted a custom built tank. Wiring was hooked up for the lighting using the existing power cable and connection, while the low-voltage power supply and controller are hidden inside the external power supply box. The tank also features a color-changing LED strip controlled by a wireless remote.

If you want to make your own, you can check out the full set of instructions at Instructables.

As many renters know, landlords have rules regarding what type of antennas can be put up on their property. However, the sneaky can take advantage of this SatPlus Sat Chair, which looks like a seat but actually conceals a dish and a LNB. Although designed for use on balconies, the SatPlus chair may also work for picking up channels at a campsite – however, it’s not clear what satellite networks it would work with.
Currently the chair is only available in European markets for around $340.
