Wow. This dude pieced together parts from a couple players to create a 32GB Flash zune in the shell of a Zune 120. Weird? I think more along the lines of bored, but hey… He documented the process well.

So why would you do all of this instead of just buying a Zune HD? Simple, it costs less than half as much as a 32Gb Zune HD, you have access to most of the same services, and battery life is almost exactly the same when playing audio. Sure you get 420p instead of 720p HD output, and yes tegra is one sexy beast, but Microsoft does not seem keen on opening up the Zune for outside developers: meaning that their is only going to be a limited number of games and apps coming out for the Zune, at least in the near term, and really how often am I going to really want to watch 4 and a half extra hours of HD content where I can’t in some way charge my Zune? Look, I think the Zune HD is great, and yes if they were giving them away, or selling them for around a Franklin, sure I would take one, but as a straight audio player it is not really any better than the second generation Zune. Bottom line, for me, I will save the $170, take my girlfriend out to a movie, (love you Ginger) and enjoy the geek street cred that goes along with my modded out Zune.
