I have found that some models of the Via Epia Mini-itx boards comes with a LVDS conector, the manual tells to can conect to some lcd panels. Can be conected to any panel? how can I find with panel would work?

and also, ummm.. I´m imaging that DFI mini-itx, running a 1,7 centrino processor, and then.. if I´m not wrong, could be "underclocked", to reserve energy, if you don´t need performance, or instead, running at 1.7 if you need it, and perhaps could forget the desktop pc in most cases .

Well, I´m nor sure if you will can find info about this Touchscreen. I have found other two ones that have just the same buttons, the same size, etc, but, no one has a firm on it, well, I think there are some comercial issues here. I´m speculating, but I think that the known firms that are selling this type of LCDs, over 300 Eur, may have super-production at some times, and maybe use other enterprises tu go out those lcds for less prices but without it´s name, for exemple Lilliput, Xernac etc. I think is a good way to go, anyway, because I think are the same products with other look. Regard to the Usb driver, I think it´s a simple driver to use your finger as a mouse on the Touchscreen, double click etc, and so, will work the same on Steinberg or on any sofware, because is just for the "touch" on windows.

Well, if they are a pci to conect to a motherboard.., that is the same than a motherboard with regard to size. ??? isn´t? I think I´m been, but, take a look, If I´m not wrong, this have VgA input conector to use with a pc; http://cgi.ebay.es/TFT-LCD-8-Touchscreen-Monitor-mit-FB-NEU-OVP_W0QQitemZ4608833664QQcategoryZ38775QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Regard to the price, comparing with an lcd from a dead laptop, I think that in the time I should spend on finding the correct mainboard chip/lcd combination, studing specs, even solderind etc, I should better have wining the money on any job, to buy the new itmen. Don´t you agree? Well, I have a 15" tft, but works with 220V. It´s a Philps 150S4, I have been searching on internet for schematics, but no result. In the other hand, I want my Daw, work with an internal 12V battery, and here, I think that the 15" would consume too much, and would be quite big. And again, the time..., I think again that for the price of a item like this, would save time, and time is money also. The only difference to my mind, is that perhaps, working on a DIY proyect is more funny than working on a factory, but perhaps, working on a factory and buying the thing "done", is more pratical, and would have more time to what really is for, playing and recording.

::) I really don´t understand how work pci-bus-slot cpu cards. Are the way so have severla pcs into only one case?? I also, don´t find the difference between the mini-itx boards and the SFB ones. But, I think I would be ok with a mainboard like; DFI G5M100-N Pentium M Mini-ITX (see here http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=2#p1630) and a 7" tft monitor. I have found 7" touchcreens tft on ebay under 200 Eur, with VGA input and 12V. All could be mounted in a case, with the other components, and of course, I have forgotten the Midibox emulation. Just a wireless numerical keyboard for transport is enough, what do you think?

Well, if I understood ok, if I buy a Core Module, with Mios installed, I´ll be avaible to load the Houston emulation through the miid input pin? with Mios Studio? I´m correct? Then, sold the correct lcd into the correct pins, and I´ll have something like Houston LCD?

:) Well, I starting to understand someting about MiOS, but still have a lot of dubts. I have found that the Doepfer pocket fader I had on an corner (since bough the Houston), has the PIC 16F73. Well, if I understood ok, first Midiboxes worked with a 16f pci, I´m ok? well, if ôm going right, Mios could be loaded into that PIC?, If yes, also the Cubase Steinberg Houston emulation on this web could be loaded also? (perhaps I´m been to much optimist). Well, the Doepfer has midi in and out, so, my mind is thinking maybe I can use this midi in to load the Mios?? And convert the Doepfer into a little Steinberg Houston??, than, add an LCD like Houston one? Of course, I only would need a litlle functions of the Houston. I just want some faders, trasnsport (rec, play, stop), and the lcd display, (which track I m, etc) If have understanding ok, this would be posible, and would be avoiding to build a PCB, buy faders etc. And the last cuestion; could be replaced the 16f73 por a newer chip there? I´ll thank a lot your patiente with me. I´m totally newbie. ???

I´m thinking about building a portable pc, with a mini-itx mainboard. I would like to add a LCD to avoid a tft (for the moment). Using Steinberg Houston can select tracks, rec arm, and transport, and see on the lcd on with track I´m. Can you give a first guide how could be? Thanks, a lot. This site is very interesting.
