This no frills site has some odd things that you should (or should not, depending on your social bend) see if your in Tokyo.
I am writing this because lots of people ask me to tell them about ‘cool stuff’ or be their tour guide, but am too much of a selfish prick to escort each of you individually.
If your in Bangkok anytime soon, why not have a pint of Old Speckled Hen? My friend Teang has become a distributer for it. It looks good, tell me if it is.

I like the clean look of a VFD, I think that servers would look better with these, not those boring LCD displays that many of them have now. I want somthing that will catch my eye from across the room if there is a drive failure!
Soldam recently announced a 5.25″ bay-type PC status display panel, the “Visualizer,” and has begun accepting orders via its website. Store sales will commence from 18 March and the display panel is priced from 13,629 yen.
The Visualiser uses a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and the “WiNDy Visualizer Control Center” software to display a wide range of information on the PC’s status.
In addition to such things as the CPU ID, operating system, current time, alarm, CPU/Memory/HDD usage, incoming email and WinAmp/Windows Media Player visualizations, custom graphics can also be displayed.
The Visualizer is available in 11 different colours – ivory, silver, black, white pearl mica, super gun metallic, creamy ivory, aquamarine, pale rose, blue, red and deep purple. Dimensions are W149.3 x D58 x H42.5 mm. Supported operating systems are Windows 2000 Professional and XP.

If anything, this give excelent info on Hip Gear/Intec Screen Pad hacking. Two of those and a few bits of camera gear and you would have a useable head mounted virtual reality / stereo vision unit.
The game grrl is a portable, gameboy sized nes, complete with a 2.5” backlit lcd, buttons from a real nes joystick, and all your favorite nintendo games.
I wonder if some of the other ‘all in one’ units could be hacked like this. Hum.. A generic display/controler box that would clip onto the game system of your choice. Now that would be a cool project.
