somehow I doubt it . i like the idea of piecing it together and did the show ones have a carrying case ?
I also wonder how the price will be. it seems piecing one together might be cheaper than a released one.

That is really slamming Steve there, new guy. He has gone out of his way to bring accuracy to his items. He also has the advantage of having his hands on the item.
As far as the price goes, yes, it will likely be cheaper to build one than to go get a licensed replica item, but as with everything, licensed pieces are sucked up by fans who do not have the ability to craft their own goods.

Doh, that figures. This gets announced two days after I collect all of the parts to build one :lol.
I am still going to build mine but will likely pick one of these up if they are under $200.00 (as long as they don't only offer the idealized version, I really want the screen used looking replica they show in the pic). They look like they did a great job.

When it comes to a common name like Farnsworth, no one owns the right to just the name there are lots of Farnsworth's this or that...
The Farnsworth Television trademark that this prop is clearly paying tribute to has been abandoned thus technically putting the name and logo in the public domain...

FARNSWORTH ELECTRONICS has a little dedication to PHILO on their site.

I wonder if the black screened version pictured on their site is a screen used piece?

The filming props have 2 versions the static grey screen and the green screen for image inserts, mentioned in the pod casts and bonus material on the DVD, all the computers have green screens as well.
One of the commentaries on the DVD discuss how they do the Farnsworth shots including the actors holding the camera them selves for the shots you see in the device.
The pod cast for S2E2 the actors complain about the prop not doing anything, even the red light is put in post and the fact that they can see the glue holding the parts on.

It's gonna be real cool if they do the Blueprints and maps of the warehouse! I so have wall space for anything WH13 + I missed being able to get a Farnsworth faceplate so I guess I'll have to get a licened one. I guess it could be alot worse because it could be some $*!%%^ A$$ company instead of QMX doing them, We know they will do the props proud.

If anyone makes it to the QMX booth at Comic con, try to find out an estimate of when these will be released...And possibly a ballpark figure on the price.
