I've been working on the molds and tooling for this for a while and it's finally ready for prime time!

It's molded from a screen used hero, has a 360 degree swivel base, self contained power, instant-on lighting and the screen graphic has been created as they were in the originals with a black and clear transparency and colored gels.

I see you have not only Engaged, but you have made it So as well. :sleep

But don't forget about Beverly's swanky "designer" medical version.

That's sexeh. It'd be more awesome if you could actually shoehorn a mobo/processor inside and make a functional desktop mac or PC.

If anyone can find a flat panel monitor to work in one of these, here's a great animated screen saver-

That is indeed a gorgeous prop! Sigh.. I wish I had the workspace I used to have in my old home.

Another option may be to put the guts from one of those digital picture frames inside. It could play a slide show of whatever Trek graphics were loaded. Although, you would lose the razor sharp look of the graphic/gel combination.

I know this a really old thread but one should be able to now with small LCD touch screens and a mini-ITX motherboard. I have one of the old toy versions of this and was thinking of doing just that.
