Good luck man and let me know how it goes.
Just wondering, how will you fit that all in the original casing?
I assume it will be elevated in the front...
edit: slap in a raspberry pi and you've made yourself a tablet pc.

Where do you go for CNC?
I think that would be baller, especially if you made the ventilation cutouts as some neat ornamental pattern etc.
Heck you could steampunk out the whole thing, you could do anything.
I love DIY.

Oh boy, well machines cost $1,000-$10,000 and more depending on size etc.
I would assume usage will be up to a few hundred dollars.
It's not as bad as 3d printing, though.

eh
cintiq screens are going to be ridiculously more precise than your diy touchscreen
however, your project is likely a LOT less expensive though so
best of luck; tell us how it goes!

there are a couple of people saying that there is a little bit of jitering with this project because of the distance from the tablet to the surface. I tested it with screen off and it was not really noticeable.
also, cintiqs being more precise? not really.. I'm using an Intuos 4 L as base and a WXGA+ (1440×900) screen (starting the 22" cintiq the screen is 1080p for 2000$)
also going to add an oleophobic screen protector to avoid fringerprints

---------
my intuos4: 500$
lcd board + power supply + shipping : 50$
screen (actually recycled from my dead alienware laptop): around 200$
Lets say the enclosure is around: 200$
I got myself a pretty decent DIY cintiq for half the price.
and it is just about 250$ of investment in the project since I had the expensive things beforehand.

I think there could be some cooler shit you can do man but good luck putting that all back in and I am guessing that is a 2nd monitor screen for your computer? If i am correct.

He could use it as a secondary screen for his computer and watch movies on it but i do not know why you would want too, that is going to cost $$$ and it would be better to upgrade your computer instead of making a dumb pen tablet (personally).

Some of us are artists, some of us aren't.
