Search the junkyard. Nicksdad did a run of these a few months back and there were lots of disassembled pics. Or PM Nicksdad directly?
Here's my Nicksdad saber before assembly:
Awesome pic, TridCloudWalker.
bigcow, a hollow Obi ROTS will be hard to find. I haven't seen one (film accurate) anywhere, actually. There are the MR FX hilts which can fit soundcards, but obviously they are far from proportionally accurate. If you do find one, let me know!
The other concession to consider is that a saber with a soundcard implies that you are going to want a blade attached, and in the case of the Obi ROTS (or any of the similar grenade sabers for that matter), the neck and emitter are too thin to accept the LED, optics, and deep enough duelable blade holder while still remaining film accurate.
There was a sabersmith on FX-Sabers with a converted Parks Obi ANH with a 3/4" blade, but I can't recall if it had a soundcard in it yet...
'Not to say a close facsimile could be made (modified TCSS MHS or an extended emitter), but it wouldn't approach the accuracy of, say, the scale/proportions of TridCloudWalker's saber he posted.
Good luck on your search..

It is possible, it could be done take a look at these 2 links.The 1st one it a ANH but it same way it could be for ROTS.

Nope, no sound card. It's just a static display piece. I'm making a hollow Ki-Adi Mundi lightsaber though that you could add sound and a blade to: http://therpf.com/showthread.php?t=62731
I'll be making different sabers in the future too. I'm not sure if I can do a hollow OWK RotS saber though. I'll see if I can come up with something. My next saber will probably be an Anakin AotC, and that will be hollow.

Yes, I have seen that saber and video before. He modified an existing saber. If I make one, I'm going to have to design it from scratch. I'm sure it can be done, but I'll need help, and I have other sabers to make first. I am keeping the OWK RotS in mind though.

While it may not be ideal since it's plastic, the Hasbro electronic Obi ROTS could be the base of a functional saber, as it's already hollow. Replace the neck/windvane/emiter assemblies and the pommel and modify the activation band and it could work.

all the difference is between the rots and the anh version is the clamp with some minor work you could just switch them over is that an idea that you would want to do
