Hello
another basic, but difficult for me to find the answer to, question!
I have been looking at the Zalman HD503 and the Thermaltake Dh101 (VF7001)
I want a HTPC that has a screen (i think!, may decide not to bother in the end), but if i have a screen i do not want it to just display a graphic equalizer and a show an illuminated "MP3" icon if i am playing music!
I would like it to display song title/artist and if possible notify me of email messages arriving, news, etc. Ideally a way to navigate through directories to find playlists would be useful.
I have the feeling that neither of these displays will do this - am i correct in this assumption? (HD503 or DH101)
If i am correct, is there a reasonably priced case that will carry out some of these features?
i know there is a few cases with inbuilt touch screens (HD160xt), but to be honest they are beyond what i am willing to pay - would be just as easy, and cheaper to put the TV on!
thanks for your continued help
