100 batteries
100 HD
200 screen
200 ratoc
050 cables
050 time

500 (and to run everything I'd advise the 128mb upgrade on ram for another 150, but, that's not vital)
$500 dollars to build. Do you know what a new laptop costs? I'll give you a hint, look at the math above... and it would have a LOT better specs...
I *love* the idea, but the cost *has* to come down...

this is why ive been looking at alternate screens, but i keep coming up against a problem with sync, if the axim could put out a 15hz sync it'd be ok. But it seems 60 is all its capable of
so if anyone comes up with a 60 to 15 scan converter let me know.
