Hi Roy,<br><br>If you did want a physical chumby you could buy the chumby guts kit:<br><br><a href="http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKCH1">http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKCH1</a><br>
<br>However their recent 'chumby one' device is a little faster:<br><br><a href="https://store.chumby.com/pages.php?pID=15">https://store.chumby.com/pages.php?pID=15</a><br><br>Which is slightly cheaper, if perhaps not aesthetically as nice as the first version, depending on your tastes:<br>

Would like to make my own from the source, but don't know if that it<br>
as at all economically feasible in terms of the electronics..<br>

PS. this is not meant as an April fool by the way, in case I'm<br>
