put singing birds in a box and call it a wireless speaker.

My low-budget idea would have to be a headphone helmet...rip out some drivers from PC speakers, place them on either side of a bending beam that sits on top of your head...fashion a leather helmet around that, complete with a front windshield, and enjoy your music in public while looking like a Power Ranger

You guys have never been a poor student before. No poor student can possibly fantasize let alone imagine up such outrageous rigs. Nothing can beat the awesome power of a poor student's Ipod. So I shall let it end thee.

Craziest portable rig:

Use those 1981 so-called "Hi-Fi" speakers with rats living in it.

put that on a bicycle of your choice and finish it up with a stereo system(amp) powered by a 12V car battery which could be charged by a alternator when moving.

So along your way to school, you and the by-standers could enjoy tunes.btw, chicks dig it and I have seen it done!

pick me! I'm a student of Ryerson University in Toronto.

A hairnet with iBuds tied to the sides, hooked up to a iPod shuffle that is artfully hidden under your hair.

I am a student in debt at the University of Alberta.

break two phones (thats right good ol fashioned phone hand sets) break them in half, install the earpieces into a fighter pilot helmet reverse of bob log III style, hold mouth pieces up to fm radio, boombox, even Sehring S704, versatile and safe : )

If we're throwing around colleges I pay out of state at UC Berkeley upwards 50G and I'm electrical engineering (plan to add to the massive audiophile array)

I'm a grad student with a day job. Does that count?

Anyway, when I travel, I amplify my minstrels with a Rinky Dink mobile bicycle-powered sound system.

I have the ultimate high-end rig....I've fine tuned every nook and cranny, every wall, floor and ceiling, every desk, computer and chair and every tool and piece of equipment that is present on the oil rig I'm working on to act as a perfectly honed acoustical resonator. All I do is plug in my Sandisk Sansa, and every surface on the rig acts as a perfect acoustical speaker to play back music at true audiophile quality.

Yes, I did lease some special technology from the Vogons, but it was well worth it...
