A design project; Ideas needed inside.

I have a digital photo frame. Cheap as hell. I've taken the thing apart because I couldn't get the SD card into the side of it, so I've cut down the plastic on the slot to make it fit.

Anywho, besides that whole 10 minute project, I noticed how cheaply put together this thing really is.

I am an amateur Electrical Engineer with a passion for circuit boards and electronics of such. What i'd like to do is put this device in something else, hook up new speakers to it (this would be easy, and i can get better quality speakers on the cheap as these are just 8 ohm, 1watt speakers.) Anyways, I want this to be clever as possible. Think of the most clever thing you'd put this in and I will consider the possibilities. It would consist of me making a hole the size of the lcd screen and just putting the circuit board in somewhere.
Please consider the dimensions of 8x5 or 20cm x 13cm with a depth of 3/ 8cm for proper fitting. I'm looking for inspiration so consider anything bigger or exact to be fair game.

Heh, what about a mini - webcam? Like on most laptops today. That'd be an alright add - on!

I'm going to assume you didn't read over the whole thing. Because your post has little to do with what I just said. I also hope you understood it had you actually read it.

A little late, but I'm curious to know if you did anything with it already, because I'm not exactly sure what you were looking for.

well you said it was a Digital frame.
with a webcam you could make it a Digital Mirror.
not that hard just instead of the receiver being the sd card it could be the Webcam.

here is a cheap rendition of it haha

and the Digital Screen could display what the webcam sees and for the speakers could be fit down the side of the frame

take the sd card slot out and replace it with a usb plug and put a 8 gb usb thumb in there and have it auto play the music on it :)

That's pretty interesting. This thing has a jack for streaming video as well, so that would be easier than you think.
