Nice! It's one of things I really wish I had a use case for just to excuse myself to own one.

How much did you spend on replacement parts?

I've found it to be a nice way to disconnect, if you want to use my excuse :)

I think it was around £200 total, with most of that being the SD cards!

My most recent build was:

$25 for new case and click wheel

$42 for the iFlash Quad

$20 for some SD cards, caught them on sale.

$18 for a new battery.

$32 for a rough condition iPod 5g. The screen was in good shape, but the case was beat to hell. The only things that have to work is the motherboard, dock connector, and screen. (you can find people selling working screens, but it's easier/cheaper to find an iPod with a screen in good condition).
