Here is Austin there is a local company that will make microprocessors for you if you bring in your diagram. That is a real nerd kit!

But this is a great beginner kit and I enjoyed looking through the projects that people have built using it:

That page shows some of our projects, but also see the "video tutorials" at http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/ , and also buried on our forum there are many customer projects. For example: a hamster wheel sensor which graphs how far a hamster runs at night ( http://www.nerdkits.com/forum/thread/197/ and https://sites.google.com/site/hamometer/ ), a home-brewed beer fermentation controller ( http://www.nerdkits.com/forum/thread/61/ ), a tractor sled monitor ( http://www.nerdkits.com/forum/thread/58/#post1232 ), and a LED tetris game ( http://www.nerdkits.com/forum/thread/167/ ).
