I plan on digging in this weekend to start my wall mounted touch project. I have this as the screen but it is win 8 only which is fine. I did not want to risk a used Elo from Ebay for $150 so opted for the new Hanspree. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FY9RKW8/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and this as the M.B. coming tomorrow.

Looking for opinions on whether or not you feel this will work. Mainly the AMD ITX M.B. Will it be able to handle E-touch? I also have 4 gigs. I am tempted to return it and get the I3 NUC computer from amazon for $150 plus an Msata drive for the OS.

Also, while I am getting ready for the build. Suggestions of getting my MP3's ready for Etouch. Is there a tagger that can get them prepped easily?

Looking forward participating in this forum. Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

I use Tag & Rename for tagging as t can look most stuff up of the internet to help with tagging and sort out things like cover art. Both computers should run E-Touch fine, an SSD drive is recommended to improve boot up times.

I have to say the SSD drive makes a huge difference. I went with an I3 processor and an SSD. WIndows 8.1 boots in about 5 seconds with 8 gigs of ram.

The quick boot up time is worth it and it also means e-touch starts up a lot quicker too.
