InkPad prototype (Dell mini 9 hack)

I recently decided to build a tablet device for college, instead of wasting paper I could just use Microsoft live Journal for notes and actually write them down instead of typing them. (for some reason I remember more information when I write it down instead of type it.) Anyways, this is my prototype and probably my final as I only had one Dell Mini to butcher. Its the 8 gig model so right now its got about 700 MB of free HD space, but I'm probably going to add a runcore SSD inside. I'm still working on a way to route the power button, it should be simple as it uses a short-out to turn the computer on.. I might just rip the cables out of an old PS2 and use that for a power button. Suggestions would be great, I may put this on ebay once I get everything finished. If I do so it'd only serve the purpose of buying a mini 9 or 10v and creating a more advanced model.

Also, I apologise for being in my knickers, but it's late. :P

I happened to see this link on craigslist and was curious. Although I'm not in the market for a touch screen computer this looks sweet - very cool!
