as a much more active member of hobby electronics than here I find trag's post a little bit too negative, 1 its not THAT bad and 2 no one said this had to be on par with dell's production either

making the designs would IMO be much more painful than making the physical product, if you do it as a project, and post it online then any yahoo with a radio shack,25 bucks, and a weekend could make their own
