Woah.
Are you serious? Send it to me. I can take it.
I was just browsing and trying to find on how to make my own lag tester, even started few threads today about it. I was thinking about using
https://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime and some 4-pin(5v, GND, -in, -out) photodiode, which would react to some specific color.
I wanted to use this method as follows:
Solder -in and -out of photodiode pins to + and - of LMB on the mouse.
Press a button on your main mouse to start the test, program then randomly changes color of the div to some specific color(let it be green), photodiode reacts to the color change and starts to pass current through in-out pins(presses LMB on the test mouse), once LMB is pressed, program measures the time between it changed color to green and the time LMB event happened.
Very simple and does exactly what you want it to do: it measures electron-to-photon-to-electron(aka reaction time test) latency.
And I was thinking about probably writing simpliest C# application later which will help to do both motion-to-photon-to-electron and electron-to-photon-to-electron latency tests yet with better accuracy using a pattern above with slight tweaks.
It isn't even close to perfect, worse than your setup but should require much smaller amount of time to make this thing yet good enough to measure latency changes when you change something like HPET, Line>MSI or timings on your monitor. But considering you say you can give away your whole rig, I am completely up to it
I know it is my first post here but I've been lurking around this kind of topics(including blurbusters) for many-many years now, reading and doing stuff(like overclocking, getting rid of cases from my GPUs, CPUs, reballing GPUs, modding cooling systems, soldering stuff, etc.)

We could talk more in TeamSpeak(or any other VOIP) about it, I could tell you more about myself in case you want to know if I am worthy(which I am
) of sending me this lag tester.
