The screen is also touch-sensitive and provides is a digital-pen function under Windows Vista. iMedian and FrontView software is included to make the most of the screen's capabilities, we note. There's also a bundled remote-control and, as usual, the seemingly bulletproof build quality that SilverStone is synonymous with.

Inside, the micro-ATX chassis supports six hard drives and an extra-long graphics card (up to 11.25in). There's also room for a couple of 5.25in bays, The unit is equipped with four low-speed 80mm fans fpr cooling purposes

Few spelling mistakes / grammar slips there.

Case looks nice though

...why?

[HSK]

that screen is nice.

I didn't know you could get that resolution in such a small screen. It would be great for my next homemade projector.

[directhex]

yeah, but... why?

[Funkstar]

The onlt legitimate reason, other than "because they/we can" that you would do this is to have the display mirrored to your 1080p TV hanging on the wall as well.

I have no idea how well Windows MediaCeter handles multimonitor setups, but i know in other apps, having seperate screens running at different resolutions can case problems.

The news should be able the screen rather than the case though, I had no idea you could get such high res screens. Would be great in an Eee or similar.

800 x 480...

1080p support not 1080P native.

[Funkstar]

ah. that would explain it.

Not that special in the end then

and quite missleading. when screens say "full 1080p" it usually means that is their actual resolution. That at least holds true in the high street.

[HSK]

so it outputs 1080p? but not on that screen hey...

its like my sony laptop...its got a sticker on it saying Full HD 1080. lies! only via the hdmi etc.

[Funkstar]

The screen can show 1080p, but only by scaling it down internally to 800x480

[HSK]

ahh ok, no wonders those icons looked so small.

[Scarlet Infidel]

This make much more sense. The picture did make the screen look very fuzzy which made me very suspicious (plus I know a 720p screen this size is available but costs a lot itself).

[directhex]

so... it's an eeepc screen?

the "why" remains
