[QUOTE="kesar, post: 304718, member: 81117"] Hi Ruud, Your DIY amazing machine inspired me. Since I'm done with my first HTPC and it works flawlessly, it's time for the next stage. Lately I've been looking for a new case with LCD touch screen. I read about some of them and it seems this solution is rather immature. There are many issues regarding screen resolution, dual view, GPU drivers, etc. So I was enlightened with your beautiful machine. I've been thinking: wow, I can also build a 'piece of the art furniture' like this myself. This is why I would like to use some of your experience and I have a few questions: 1. Could you describe more detailed all the drawbacks of the touchscreen solution with MP; 2. What are the downsides of your build; 3. I already started to draw some designs and was experimenting with shapes; I didn't find any better form, I mean more functional and ergonomic; any advice? 4. I'm not sure about all the physical interfaces; I rather need some output and input sockets: to the amp, to the tv, some usb's, wifi anthena, PCI cards mounting, etc. So I'm wondering how to design it. Certainly I could use the plate of a regular computer case and cut the unnesessary parts off, but your solution looks very clean and elegant any remarks will be highly appreciated. Here are my 'first version' requirements concerning my build: - all main functionalities of MP excluding TV; - dual screen mode - I found 10'' screen with native resolution just like my TV 1366/768; - VNC management; - iMON pilot management; - use most of the currently owned hardware - I'm thinking about replacing PSU with passive cooling - I want to end up with only one fan - currentlny I have two, main 120mm on the side wall of the case, second in PSU; - I need DVD drive slot-in like yours (I'm not sure with this, do I need this? I have all my media archived on hard disks); the rest is fine and works; - maybe a universal card reader - atm don't need it, but for the future purposes; Best regards, kesar [/QUOTE]
