First of all, hey all! Just signed up here!
Hate for my first post to be a HALP ME OUT post but I urgently need to make a decision on this so I'm just gonna go ahead and be shameless here.

What do yall think about this?

There is a place online called tabletmod where
you can pickup a kit that includes everything you need for $409, there's a $50 discount right now so it's $359, but with shipping it comes out to $400 anyway.
A used intuos4 can be had for $400 tops.

And you need some material and tools, say $50.

So that's a grand total of $850, you get a nice quality 1440x900 15" screen, intuos4 functionality, a semi professional looking acrylic case and stand. If you dish out another $100 for an ergotron LCD arm, it's just shy of a grand for a 15" cintiq that probably has a better screen and equal or better sensitivity.

Yay or nay?

I've bought a smaller one from TabletMod and had it working after one unfortunate event with an electronic board. It's working very nicely now, I get almost 100% accuracy in the middle portion, with some jitter at the top of the monitor and maybe a few dead areas near the sides.

The build I had was made with acrylics, while durable, seems to be easily broken, especially the smaller parts. Nothing some glue can't fixed though, but definitely would have like it to be mode durable.

If you ask me I think it's definitely worth it.



Here's a picture of my build, made with Tabletmod's part. Zbrushing with it was a blast! Now I am waiting for my cheaper alternative to the Ergotron arm and its done!
