I'd really like to see a Pipboy 3000 from Fallout 3 built. Sure, there have been several attempts at creating some by the cosplay and DIY community, but other than gutting the alarm clock that came with the survival edition and installing a light and maybe a simple MP3 player, nothing of a serious replica has been created.
What I envision:
Pipboy 3000 resin cast

Working Geiger Counter that drives an analog meter

Some sort of high intensity flashlight that runs off of another battery
A small PDA or other embedded electronic device that runs Windows CE or some flavor of Linux/Android
A touch screen
Can also be controlled by the selector knob and scroll wheel
An application that simulates the Pipboy interface and plays the radio broadcasts from Fallout 3 and New Vegas
This would effectively serve two purposes. One being probably the most accurate prop for cosplay and a wrist computer so the device isn't useless every other day out of the year.
