The Atari 8-bit family was a huge technological leap forward for Atari. When the first one came out in 1978 it had the most advanced graphics hardware of any game system. Even ten years later it proved to be a contender.
There are interfaces that adapt LVDS to put analog inputs., find for "tft driving board", "TFT A/D Board" or others. There are ones even with TV tuner so you can convert a cheap PC TFT (broken laptop too...) into a TV with minimal electronics skills. Find over google and ebay about in.
A8 uses s-video as best output, but there are an expander that features analog RGB plus tons of amiga-like graphical capabilities. This addon is called VBXE.
You should post more videos! They're really fun. What I'd love to see is maybe a time-lapse video of the entire build process of one of your projects. That'd be a lot of fun, and informative at the same time.
it looks awsome

Nice, but I would have thought that the keyboard would have been better off at the front from an ergonomic perspective.
