this fool takes a wacom tablet, an old busted dell LCD screen and makes a Cintiq like device out of them

http://www.bongofish.co.uk/wacom/wacom_pt1.html

so if you have the parts, a little DIY hacker sprit and too much time on your hands you might be interested in doing something similar

i have a el-cheapo noname tablet and a old 800x600 9 inch lcd im going to be trying this on

I'm also insane, I read the whole thing even though i know pretty well I wouldn't ever want to do that myself....but I love tinkering with stuff and looking at others doing it....

(I have an Intuous2 that I'm perfectly happy with-it would prolly drive me crazy if I could suddenly draw on my monitor....)

I read it all too, and I know exactly how much of a PITA those FFC 'cables' are to mod... but if I had the parts lying about, you know I'd be on it in a heartbeat

sadly I have neither a spare lcd monitor, now a spare wacom... in fact I don't even have either to play with
