I've never tried what you're doing though I've thought about it many 
times so I don't think I'll be much help on the specifics. But during 
one of my many times of searching the web for just such a thing I came 
across this fellows website and seems to be very well documented and up

Also this project may be of some interest to you too.

Both are intended to be used with this hardware but also can be 
customized with any "regular" computer too.
