Beautiful. For Valentine's day I think you should put an LCD in the lid of the case and make a post-modern laptop out of the thing. I've got some parts for you if you're up for it.

i know that the parent was informative, but it was a decent part troll as well. if i wanted to find soldering techniques, i would have done a search on google (or asked slashdot, they except everything). its ok that you know how to better solder than the man who made this, but its his project, not yours, so why do you care so much that his soldering job wasnt up to par?
