wow! That is possibly the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! I love it! That case is amazing. I wish I had a spare few hundred quid to get a decent case! I want a little screen!

Good job!

Anthony.

Very nice. I finish my very similar setup about a month ago. I'm still looking for a touchscreen friendly skin to make the most out of the 7" LCD. Currently using Mayhem Project III skin.

xisio · 2007-06-21, 14:25

Im using MPIII too

but for navigate i use harmony remote or button on case is easier.

thematrixz · 2007-06-28, 11:05

What resolution do you run on the 7" LCD screen? I tried 1280x768, the fonts and icons are too small for accurate touching.
960x600 is the other mode, but I get a white bar at the bottom of the screen that I can't get rid off. I post a message on Zalman website but I don't think they can resolve it.

xisio · 2007-06-28, 11:12

800x600 is native, 1024x768 is suporting.

thematrixz · 2007-06-28, 11:31

But 800x600 is a 4:3 ratio, one would think a 16:9 ratio like 960x600 should be the native resolution

xisio · 2007-06-28, 23:10

in zalman manual is 800x600 and 1024x768 support, when You use drivers for this case you can chose only this two resolution.
