    Hi,

    What hacks should I do with my new internal USB 2.0 hub?

    I have 4 ports, but one is already occupied with a bluetooth 2.0 edr device (the worlds smallest, as found on dx).

    What I'm considering:
    • Touch screen[/*:m:2l5xgj61]
    • Internal USB memorystick (corsair gt, 16gb, use this as ssd?)[/*:m:2l5xgj61]
    • what else?[/*:m:2l5xgj61]

    Suggestions welcome :)

    I like the ideas presented, but a tv-tuner is not a very good idea for my country, as then I would need a cam-reader too...
    (only dvb-t, and it needs cam card).

    However, I also thought about:
    What about gyroscope? eg. maybe build in a wiimote? dont know if it will fit, but it would be cool I guess, to have the wiimote functions inside the aspire one?

    Kapton tape, its like scotch tape but its like metallic goldish looking. That's what the real hacking geeks use. :mrgreen:

    It would be nice if you could give some description of what we are seeing in the pictures. This could help others to try what you did.
