yea i used troll touch but i had to solder the usb cable directly to the logic board so there wouldnt be any wires running outside of the case in the end. the case isnt perfect, but it looks really nice. ill put up more pictures when its finished

Just awesome. Way to go. Do you also have a program on there for a touch screen keyboard? How well does it work? Any plans to post the steps to your mods?

thanks
its got three ways to accept input: onscreen keyboard, ink, and bluetooth keyboard
ink isnt actually supported by troll touch drivers, so im going to have to do a little modification but i should be able to get it to work (ink is apple's built in handwriting recognition software). the bluetooth keyboard is from iGo, called the ultra slim stowaway kebyord and is really nice and will be the primary input device (its REALLY thin, lightweight and nice)
the hardest steps were the soldering and the case building, and i didnt write stuff down as i went along but i may eventually post a tutorial
its built from an ibook g4
