HTPC with Touchscreen?

hwahrmann · 2005-06-20, 21:10

Hi all,

looking to build a HTPC.
Would like to have a touch screen.

I've seen the uneed X15e http://www.iuneed.com/x15e.html but it seems to be quite expensive just to find out that it is probably not the best solution.
Has anyone already experience with it?

Are there any other solutions with touch screens on the market?

thanks,

Helmut

If I remember right, there are some people here, using a kind of wireles touchscreen as remote.

someone reported on irc that he's making a special touchscreen skin for his car pc.

Hi,

I looked at the Dign case to but decided not to buy it because you want to place the case between your other Hifi stuff. So you're touchscreen will not be a handy height. In most case you will have to kneel to touch the screen. That would be bad for a case of EUR599.

I bought a seperate 7"touchscreen and that works pretty good with the normal skins. Even my girlfriend uses it now

The touchscreen and TV are setup as 'clones' so they will both show the same information. A dual screen option for MP would make this even better. I think people are busy with this.
