[Ed] had a netbook he no longer needed and decided to make it into a mini MAME cabinet for some of his family members. MAME cabinets are pretty plentiful, but this one was so nicely done, we wanted to share it.
He removed the monitor from an EeePC 901 in order to get some precise measurements, then went about crafting … Read the rest
[Ben Krasnow] has recently completed a home-built scanning electron microscope and has posted a video of it in action on his blog.

We certainly understand that High School geometry is becoming a very distant memory, but it’s really not as hard as you think. [Janw] built this analog clock using a graphic LCD and … Read the rest
The Open Source Hardware (OSHW) initiative is rolling right along. But now it’s time for you to share your input. The movement is choosing a logo and you get to decide which one it will be.
