Multitouch 10.1″ DIY netbook touchscreen kits found on eBay
10.1″ netbooks are pretty well dirt cheap right now – there were loads available this Thanksgiving weekend for less than $200, and that looks like a trend that’s going to continue.

WoodWind mod turns MSI Wind into.. something else
I’ve never been a huge fan of wood vinyl paneling. But then again, I spent very few years of my life in the 1970s. If you think everything looks better when coated with fake wood panels, you’ve got to check out the WoodWind, a modified MSI Wind (actually an Advent 4211 which is a rebanded […]

Asus Eee PC 1000H cooling hack
I’ve been using an Asus Eee PC 1000H for a few weeks now, and I have to say it doesn’t get particularly hot to the touch unless you’re running the CPU at full speed for an extended period and you’ve blocked off one or more of the cooling vents. But if you want to overclock […]
Acer Aspire One and MSI Wind hacks: Adding a touchscreen
One of the things that sets most netbooks apart from UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs) is the fact that while many UMPCs have touchscreens, few netbooks do.
