Who wants to build a micro bartop?
JimmyU:
Just saw this computer. Only a 4.5" screen on that sucker. I was thinking you could a bartop that resembled the old Donkey Kong tabletop game:
If you wanted, Happs has a 1 1/2" trackball for it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
patrickl:
Not sure how you could actually improve on that.
A few years ago I made a micro Galaga cabinet with an iPAQ PocketPC inside PocketGalaga

The next one the product line is $2500, but it comes with a solid state hard drive. Just wait a year and this model should be between $400-500. I never played the Donkey Kong table top growing up, but i did have this Pac-Man one though:

I have a T-Mobile Ameo. This is a Pocket PC with a 5" screen (640x480 resoltution so non widescreen). Maybe that would be easier and cheaper (although not by much) to hack into something.
Actually it has a detachable keyboard so it should be easy to slide it in and out of a Micro cab and hack a keyboard for it. Actually it accepts USB keayboards, so maybe even an I-PAC will work :)
