Actually, there was not alot of money thrown in
Most Computer Parts were Taken out of my main system. The perspex cost $200 Total and I did all the Wiring myself and the Touch Screen was sourced through friends who used to work for the Now Bankrupt company Mycar.
Well, Mine has ended up turning out AWESOME, I am able to play Doom3 on the Plasma and also it is touch screen operated with the custom Written Interface for the unit.
Features:
Multi Zone Audio
Touch Screen Operation
DVD Library
