OK, now I'm intrigued. Jon and I talked about something similar a number
of years ago, but never really came up with a fantastic solution. Of
course, hardware has gotten considerably smaller since then.
What's the preferred hardware solution like for an on-board PC? I'm
guessing you'd probably start with a regular power supply, micro ATX
motherboard, maybe a laptop hard drive, and an LCD panel of course. Do
you house it in a micro computer case, or does the console effectively
become the case? Do you have any provisions for a keyboard?
Sounds like a cool project.
