Hi guys,
I have recently setup MC on a Silverstone LC18 case, which has an integrated 7" touchscreen. I run theatre view on that screen and fullscreen on an adjacent 17" LCD to do work within the app.

After a few issues (still can't get TV working within MC, have to import video files one at a time to MC or it starts thrashing) it is actually functioning really well.
But there's two things that bug me.
1. I can't turn on album thumbnails (as opposed to [name] thumbnails) in theatre view. Hence my movies I have split into 2 files, I see 2 little thumbs in each corner of the square (refer to photo). Within the main app, I can get around this by naming the two files as being the same album, and then using album thumbs.
2. I really need a big, thick touch friendly scrollbar down the right hand side.

Thanks, Mark.

Thanks Mark.  Your suggestions are noted.  It wouldn't hurt to remind us as MC 12 starts.

And wow, that looks like a laboratory

Thanks Matt, I will.

And you should have seen it with 800 CD's and 200 DVD's filling every inch of shelf space!

Sounds UGLY!!! I wouldn't like to see this as a permanent fixture. Optional only.

Let's call it compulsory for everyone with touchscreens and a big library to 'scroll' through in lots of 6  to 16 using page up/down.

SWEET case! Is it relatively quiet?

In a word, no.
But I will watercool it, after I've upgraded the M/B etc. I decided with this project to get it functional first, then add the bells and whistles.

It's a great looking case. I'm on my third LCD for live pixel issues. I think having 6 HDD's situated immediately behind the LCD is bad design, I think heat caused the LCD's to fail, as they were both fine to start with.

Nevertheless, if you want a Hi Fi component looking case with an integrated touchscreen, there isn't that much choice around. (Yet! But wait 24 months, IMHO this type of case will more common than a proverbial)
