Posted April 8, 200916 yr Dont know if there is a thread already existing for cool . . . nay AWESOME bits of tech lurking the dark dank cyber halls of BigD so thought i'd put up a thread. To kick start it i found this article on Tom's which points to the mob at MaximumPC building a DIY multitouch display for $350 as opposed to the largess of $12k MS is asking for their unit. Cool read and great results too. Article from MaximumPC http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/maximum_pc_builds_a_multitouch_surface_computer?page=0%2C3 Vid demo of the finished thing [edit] - link from Tom's too which is a briefer read if you dont have the time for the page flipping... http://www.tomshardware.com/news/multi-touch-surface-PC-DIY,7484.html Edited April 8, 200916 yr by Heat-seeker There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
April 8, 200916 yr Personally, I am quite horrified, nay - mortified, to discover that Microsoft are a bunch of swindlers, hustlers, rapscallions and anus merchants... funny thing about the price difference... "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill

This creating a DIY touchscreen sounds good in theory ( i do like the idea ) , but i am not too sure about practicality. Personally i don't tinker with anything without full knowledge of what's in involved. Don't tell me the cliche of "it ain't rocket science".

April 9, 200916 yr It's OK... I was born offended... In fact - I feel a little guilty of last night questioning the heterosexuality of my entire team before rage quitting... we were being dominated in Korengal by a stacked (veterans) team... No offense taken... it's sometimes hard to glean nuance or sarcasm in text communications. "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
