Posted by timothy on from the well-executed dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "What do you get when you take a laptop LCD, a Mini-ITX case and an old marine weather radar? A self contained wireless weather radar PC appliance!" And No, it's not just squeezing a motherboard into an object smaller than that motherboard -- this is a functional weather-watching device.

    And No, it's not just squeezing a motherboard into an object smaller than that motherboard (emphasis mine)

    And how would one do that, exactly (and ensure the board still worked)?

    I'm still waiting for the goatse guy to case mod himself. It'd probably be the first reported case of someone's ass getting Slashdotted, literally. I'm sure the collective Slashdot head would explode from the irony of the whole endeavor.
