 The fabled DIY Mac Tablets are about as common as a sighting of a Big Foot. But they are out there. Intrepid Mac enthusiast Wei had tried to build a Mac Tablet before, but failed. That did not stop him from trying again, and this time he had success. In his Malyasian studio Wei was able to combine a MacBook and intuos3 (9x12) into an iTab. He spent from May to July working on it, waiting for parts and working some more.
If you are thinking of making your own Mac tablet, you definitely need to go to Wei's site. He has details that you will want to know before setting out on your tablet project. While building his iTab Wei ran into heat issues, cursor shaking and display pixelization that he had to overcome or live with. Go to his website to see detailed pictures of the iTab's construction and the finished tablet.
