I have bought a 8'' resistive touch screen with an USB controller from ebay and it fits perfect. The usb controller was solder to one USB port inside the XO and fits very well under the lcd sceen.

is there anyway you can post a video tutorial on how you did this? i want to do this as well (also post the link where you purchased everything?)  can you install this without soldering or is soldering the only way. Also how did you get the 8" screen to fit in the casing?
