Hey. I picked up a nice little LCD touchscreen with 433mhz celeron 256mb ram, 20Gb Hd, and more....

off of ebay.



This is going to be flushed into my kitchen wall as a main "command" unit...



I actually stumbled across it here:

Not a bad deal either. Came fast, packed excellent, very cool controller.



Theses MP3/carputer guys have lots of cool ideas and whatnot that would cross-over into home automation quite well.



There is a 7" LCD touch monitor that a lot of them use that would make an excellent little control center in the theatre room.





Just thought I would share!

That is nice, although the PC case might be a tight fit in the wall



Where did you see the 7" model?

Yeah, its a tad deep, but width is OK. It will fit in a 2x6 wall fine, but a 2x4 wall will need some spacing. Luckily for me, the wall its going in has a closet behind it, so I will just build out an access panel in there for it.





Some of the guys on that thread were pricing out cables to detach the panel from the computer.......



I cant wait to play with it!!!!!!
