Hi everybody!
I'm a ShopBot Desktop owner from Switzerland and I have a lot of fun with this "little" machine.
some early projects:
my first cut ever

An arcade joystick made from the ShopBot's plywood packaging

(more pics (https://secure.flickr.com/photos/ws137/sets/72157630094249194/))
A little box for a Fluxx (http://www.looneylabs.com/games/fluxx)-based "Twin Peaks"-themed card game

(more pics (https://secure.flickr.com/photos/ws137/sets/72157630422402920/with/7502578004/))
A 4-Player-Quiz-System
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7243/7172993531_0272467c75.jpg
For the electronics inside I used a Teensyduino (http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensyduino.html)so the little box can communicate with a computer through USB. I'm still working on the Quiz software that runs on the computer. (more pics (https://secure.flickr.com/photos/ws137/sets/72157630095876134/))
as you can see, they are all in no way nerdy projects... :-)
