'Case of Base' retro boomboxes crafted from vintage suitcases

Today I came across these WICKED cool Case of Base hand-made portable sound systems.  They're upcycled from old vintage suitcases. Each one is custom designed in Portland, Oregon by brothers Ezra and Alex Cimino-Hurt. 

My personal favorite pictured above is the MuuRay model.  Powder blue case inset

with a sweet 12-inch woofer and LED backlighting. Yeah Boiiiii!!

I seriously need one of these for my shop.

Follow the boys as they keep it fresh on their blog, twitter and facebook.
