One fan made a giant Nintendo DS out of two 14″ touchscreen monitors

Talk about it in our Forums

You’ve got to have a certain love for the DS.  A love which will compel you to make a huge DS out of two 14″ Touchscreen monitors.  This love knows now bounds – at least, no bounds outside of 14″x28″ of Nintendo goodness.

Check out this site for more details and pictures of this monstrosity beautiful tribute to geek love of technology.

Here are the specs:

Parts and approximate cost (you can do better scrounging for stuff on eBay):

Gateway M275 screens (14″ 1024×768): $100*2 (eBay)
LVDS modules (Advantech PCM-205): $60*2
Digilent S3BOARD + headers: $130
Nintendo DS: $100
Wacom pen: $30

Grand total: $580 (let’s make it an even $600 for any other miscellaneous junk). However, _MOST_ of these things were spare parts I had laying around from earlier projects, so it didn’t cost me anywhere near that much. I wouldn’t have bothered if it did.
