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.

after almost two years of delay the incredible hype machine they had unleashed had already inspired more competent shops to actually ship better products...
...for four times or more the price
TFTFY
Some years later you can get similar products at a mere twice the price or even a few slightly inferior products at the same price. But.. this is some years later.
