About a year ago, I did some research looking to build/buy something similiar. I pretty much retired the project because I didn't think there was any money in it. Most of the hardware I wanted either didn't exist or was too expensive for the average joe.

Here's the links for what's on the market-

Thats sweet man, and to those that were mentioning the webcam idea, I already did that to mine! :-D http://www.fishyentertainment.com check er out, I was thinking of maybe hosting one or two more under my site for fun, although the person would have to "come up with/ purchase" their own software meaning webcam32. But yeah this idea looks sweet, gotta love us fish geeks that want to bring 2 worlds together :-D
