After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Yeah, I saw this on Slashdot and on hack a day... it's pretty interesting, but it's no more than a fancy case mod for a PC running that software. It looks like this auction just comes with the Storm Predator software (which looks faily impressive, I must say) and directions for building it. You still have to supply your own PC and display.

Storm Predator radar software is a joke!!

I use Storm Predator, I think it's an OK software but no more! If it would sell for 10 or 15$ it would be OK.

Wasn't this bounced around here in June?

The project itself can be found here: http://www.myradarproject.com/
An interesting project, however even the author states that he was strongly motivated by nostalgia in his design. I'm not entirely sure what he has against a square display; the older PPI (round displays) were that shape due to design restraints more than anything.
The same functionality is found by running a laptop with the appropriate software/hardware combo.
The article is a good read however, particularly for people interested in custom PC's. I'm working on a custom PC unit for automotive use; some of the pitfalls and tips from this article definitely apply.
