Ok, a few things many people aren't getting about these board.  The power supply CAN be a little board that plugs into 12v DC.  These are for car computers.  Great right... if your in a car... but how would this effect us??

Well, you can buy cheap 12v rechargable battery packs.  For instance, they sell them for extending the life in many portable DVD players.  I'm sure you could buy them from other locations also.

Next, these run both VGA and TV output.  So you can get yourself a little 7" touchscreen for a few hundred.

Next... hack yourself a very small keyboard and build up a ben heck(cant remember rest of page) and you have yourself a portable computer / mame computer.

I was going to do this with my mini-ATX, but ended up using the computer for something else.

But the prices

250 - CPU - motherboard
200 - 7" monitor
50-90 - power supply (ebay / purchase form stores... prices may have come down)
70 - battery
10 - IDE - SD card (or others)

lots of time cutting small small cables and building a small hand held case (I was going to hack it to one of those kids hand held learning computers initially.  Thought I could build around it.

you have yourself a full hand held touch screen origami computer that you built...

Add a vontage usb phone hacked (guessing its easy) or a microphone and speaker and you have an apple phone.

Add a gps usb port - you have yourself a hand held gps system

Don't forget the 802.11 card somewhere...

And hack in one of those sweet ass virtual keyboards for 180 bucks....

ok, now it will probably get pretty big adding all the parts... but still cool.

Which Nintendo stick? The Playchoice cab, the bartop or the NES Advantage stick?
