Watching it excitedly.

The main issue I see is the screen itself; monochrome LCDs that size and resolution don't really exist anymore, and I don't know how other folks feel, but I'm not willing to give up daylight readability like we'd have to with a color LCD or OLED--not to mention the current draw!

Basically, a Z88 has zero attraction to me if it's like a modern laptop.

Now I know I just said I really don't want to give up daylight readability...but through the wonders of direct marketing from China, there is a TFT LCD that fits into the existing case volume nicely and doubles the vertical screen real estate, like so:

There's also a TFT LCD that is nearly a drop-in replacement for the original:

So uh, where are folks with that FPGA mainboard? I've got the screen and the case design chops!
(apologies for the key-less renders, this was just a mockup to test screen fits)

Can you do a slt file for a bezel with different size screen options? Maybe upload something to thingyverse?
