There's my frac rack friendly Ghett-o-scope but until I can find a cost
effective and reliable source of 128x128 1.5" LCD or OLED displays I
won't even bother with a PCB layout.  Here's a picture Brandon Daniel
took at BAAH 2008:

You can buy the Luminary Micro eval board with LCD for around $100.
Code changes to facilitate better display at low sampling frequencies
isn't that difficult.  And you'll want to change the UI in their example
code because it's miserable.
