What to do with a broken tablet.

[nova2k]

The screen on my original Nexus 7 was broken after a hefty tumble. Considering the cost of repair and shipping time, I opted to buy a new model. So now I'm left wondering what, if anything, I can do with a tablet that no longer has a touch-capable screen. The screen still works, visually, and everything else is solid. I know I can't get any kind of reliable video-out out of it, which shot down my initial hopes, but is there any use for a broken tablet outside of scrapping it for parts or carrying around a massive 14gb flash drive?

Sell it (as is) on eBay just describe what is wrong with it so the buyer is not mislead.

You MIGHT be able to get a wireless keyboard and mouse to work... viddy on YouTube makes it look easy.
Search " Use A Keyboard & Mouse On Google Nexus 7 Tablet (Without Rooting!) " or....
