X-Media 2s Media Centre PC with 7" touchscreen

My Media Centre case is a X-Media 2S case with 7" touchscreen (http://www.mediacenter-tv.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=X%2DmediaX%2D2s) that I run with FrontView.

But I have configured it to switch the Vista MediaCenter from the TV to the 7" display with just one button on the remote.

This is very handy as I don't always want to put the TV on just to listen to music, so I hit the blue button on my remote and it switches the mediacenter to the X-Media PC, and then I use my remote to browse to the music I want and play it! I can also put a slideshow of my photos on at the same time to have a photo-frame.

I set-up the button switch with Imon software that comes with the X-Media case.

Hey nice set up! How'd you get the TV lit behind the screen on the wall?

Just using some car LED lights from Maplin.. hooked them up to a 12v adaptor and stuck them to the back of the TV...

Very nice setup. How much does a unit like that cost though?  Seems a little over kill when you could just buy an ordinary fanless pc instead (for I'm guessing a lot less). Impressive nonetheless.

Awesome! I have never heard of this case. I like the dimming it does when you put the TV on.

How hard is the case to set up? Was the touch screen easy?

What is the system config?

Thanks.. awesome video!
