You can order your very own Farnsworth ("Warehouse 13") replica today (1/24, 1pm EST) from QMx. I'm tempted by this one, but I'm in the 'slow' process of building my own right now.

Nope. The case is actually based off a fishing lure box.

Oh, now wouldn't that be cool! Maybe I should build an iPod touch into mine. :)

Apparently there's a man in London who's taken the guts of an Oyster card (electronic payment for public transport) and built them into the end of a wand. He goes round dressed as a wizard (apparently) and pays for his travel by touching the wand to the payment terminal.

Building an iPod Touch into a Farnsworth strikes me as much the same sort of thing.

I was thinking about building a Tiny Tornado transceiver in to it. It would just need a place to connect an external tuner/antenna and a few other non-cosmetic tweaks. http://www.indianapolis.net/QRPp-I/tinytornado.html
