Of course, until the complementing tablets finally come out of hiding, everyone else is left twiddling their thumbs. But if you happen to have special access to the preview version of the system software, you can simply create your own Windows 8 tablet -- from spare parts, no less.

As shown over at Instructables, one tech-savvy modder turned an old-looking Toshiba laptop into a working Windows 8 tablet with little more than a screwdriver, tape, some glue, and a couple small planks of wood to give everything some breathing room.
