Adafruit has released step by step instructions to build your own 10" Raspberry Pi 2 based computer.
From the article:
This project takes a DIY approach with no compromises in cost. The cost of this build easily goes over low budget DIY projects, but it's [meant] to be [a] premium build. It will be used for monitoring and wirelessly controlling a farm of printers. A dedicated linux box with a decent sized screen could cost about the same amount, but when the process of building a project is more meaningful than getting the cheapest deal, this sorta thing becomes a trophy item as well as a functioning utility. Also, we can mount it to anything and design custom brackets to adjust it in any configuration, and that's pretty darn cool.
A PDF of the instructions is also available.

Naturally, this would need to be at my own expense - the current government would prefer to see intelligent and productive people wither and die on unemployment, or welfare, rather than see them provided with a safety net that allowed continuing education and investment in the fundamental infrastructure that is the United States population - nope, the new owners of the United States figure they can outsource that population thing, too, there's no lack of population.
FTFY.
(Actually, I am the author of those words. I posted them as 'Plain Old Text', but the parsing mechanism filtered them out of the 'Preview'. So I recomposed them using HTML macros 'ampersand less-than' and 'ampersand greater-than' and that was rendered correctly, for some reason - even though it was still marked 'Plain Old Text' - so I posted it; but then, the pseudo-tags didn't show up. So I replied to myself, as a sort of a bug report. I trust the system maintainers will see this.)
