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!

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]

Im using MPIII too but for navigate i use harmony remote or button on case is easier.

 

[thematrixz]

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]

800x600 is native, 1024x768 is suporting.

 

[thematrixz]

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

 

[xisio]

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