DIY PowerMate Scroll Wheel and Volume Control [Weekend Project]
Lifehacker —
DIY web site Instructables steps through how to build your own scroll wheel--like the $45 Griffin PowerMate --with an old mouse, remote control car wheel (or similarly sized wheel that fits your hand), and a fair amount of elbow greese.
