1. Nice. I had a similar idea to put those screens in the top of my laptop. I can't wait to see the finished result.

Because I will probably forget about this, I hope it comes around again in hack a day a update.

3. this thing reads more like a "painting hack" than anything else......but i guess we cannot expect "Mary Masterson" quality hacks at every turn. at least this guy used a spray can as opposed to a brush....but still, an unfinished hack is just a pipe dream until its completed anyway. on a scale of 1-10 (10 being "Mary quality") i give this hack a 4....could possibly be a 8 or 9 if it were finished....but lets face it--there are going to be "slow hack days" in the future too.....so having this thing on the back burner (surely it will get finished some day and written up properly)has to be comforting to HAD. Not that i enjoy it a great deal when HAD repeats itself (i know how to search the HAD website for old hacks past); still i guess its the nature of the beast when attempting to find quality hacks in a world full of lameness. Good work to the dude responsible for the hack----but one could expect a little more from the writeup. The lesson to be learned from this hack---It makes no difference how complete it is; or how well its written up; just get your trusty spray paint out and put a HAD logo on the top and its a shoe-in.

4. Yeah, reading this I got the impression that this is mainly just about painting the thing and getting it shiny. He doesn't even say what he is going to do with the LCD or how he put the controller board together.

6. Hi!

Someone just told me in bit-tech.com:s forum that i´ve been "linked" here. :)

Just as someone wrote the project is mostly aimed to painting it. Adding a Vu-meter (semi-mono/stereo) and a Lcd is just for the looks. Its a slow going project because of my irl work that takes allot of time.

My bad english is one of the reasons to the lack of proper project plans etc. The schematic is similar to the one both me and the author of this "thread" mentioned in both the bit-tech thread and here. But insted i use a simple volt-regultating-thingy (dont know the english name) for the 3.3volt needed. (and some 1k resistors for the rest of the pins) I will post schematics at the bit-tech forum as soon as i know it works. :)

7. if it comes out allright when its done i'd say it's an awesome mod.

#2 how would you make it touch sensitive?
