Crave giveaway of the week: Altec Lansing's kickin' iPod boom box

The Altec Lansing Mix iMT800 has the look and feel of an old-school, crank-it-till-your-ears-bleed boom box--albeit a rather stylish one--but it boasts an iPod/iPhone dock. We're giving it away to one lucky winner.

Altec Lansing

For this week's installment of the weekly Crave giveaway, we're offering another iPod/iPhone speaker system--and it's one of our favorites: The Altec Lansing Mix iMT800.

I happen to have reviewed this guy myself and here's the bottom line on it: "While the retrolicious design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph, and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there." (Read the full review).

Normally, Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 would cost about $300, but you have the chance to get it gratis.

So, how do you try to win this iPod boom box? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.
