Glenn - Mini-ITX's, LCD's, Touchscreens and XPe (needs to be xp sadly  ).
What do you know? Any good resources or suppliers? Looking to build an all-in-one unit, prolly not much bigger than the 170x170 Hopefully in one of these 
Its the screen/controller - Touch/controller thats baking my noodle ATM Oh, and it's got to be cheap 
EDIT: 6.4" screen....and tryin not to worry about the heat ATM |

It's more to do with what bits do I need. As I see mini-itx boards with built in LVDS control. Does that then mean I just need an LCD panel + Touch screen + Controller And if I get a MB without LVDS control do I go back to needing a seperate board? I have found this, so am hoping it's a reasonable price. That way It looks like I can forget about compatability issues and just plug it into any ITX board....... |

Here was me thinking that you were building an in-car entertainment system
Might be worth googling "car pc" and seeing if there are links to suppliers.... |

Started there a few weeks back. You find some great stuff if you're actually building a car/home project. But nothing really OEM. One of the best buys was an intergrated 7" touch screen for just over £100. I dont know if its the power of mass production, but I certainly cant find the parts for that price.

This is the place you want. Even if you have descided on the "pc" parts you'll need a DC - DC transformer, car voltage varies too much. Have a look at their EPIA motherboards and the in car cases also. Have fun shopping and post a project log maybe. |

Ta mate, been looking on there already.
It's not for a car btw, with any luck it's gonna be a manufactured product. But still gonna take pics, cos who wouldnt want to see pics of a touch screen box, built from the ground up?!

Have you looked at Siemens' products? They have a lot of touchscreen units, easy to program too. |

I'm a particulat fan of the "Logo!"
But a ground up system is the way forward on this. It's for the UK water industry so it's got to be cheap
6-12mnths and shty XP will be the first to go
And in a let of steam stylee - Go on Microzoft website, click XP and see if you end up easily at anything like XP, or do you end up with them trying to sell you Wanky Vista?!?!!? TOSSERS |
