Is Microsoft Surface overpriced?

The answer to that question, of course, is yes -- at least for the consumer market. Even Microsoft acknowledges that its Surface tabletop computers, currently $12,500 a pop, aren't exactly ready for the living room. But just how much lower could Microsoft go?

That's what we're wondering after seeing what the do-it-yourself super-geeks at Maximum PC were able to do with about $350 in parts and a bunch of open-source software. As demonstrated in the video below, the device they created offers very similar functionality, including an immersive multi-touch experience.

See this article for all the details.
