Hmmmm....glad the article mention the built in lcd was not meant to be used as a primary display. Might be okay for monitoring the system and components.
I would have to do some serious gymnastics to be able to see the front panel of my case. As for monitoring some fans/temps, the dot matrix displays are more than enough. Overkill, if you ask me.
Too expensive it will never be a practical case for any budget. Most people would rather spend that extra cash on video cards or bigger monitors not this for sure.
I think it'd be cheaper and be more functional in the end if you just modded a big screen onto the right hand side of an appropriately sized case... not the same thing.. but $1500 :O
This reminds me of a question I saw on an imageboard recently, someone was asking how they could get a secondary display on their case for system diagnostics and whatnot. Looks like the companies were listening
This is an innovative idea...perhaps make an attachment that will work on other pc cases, or clip on the side of an existing monitor. I'd love an extra little screen like that just to remove clutter from my desktop.

Did you even read the the article ?
[citation][nom]Randomacts[/nom]I would buy that for $300 for for 1500? To many zeros.[/citation]
Exactly what I was thinking. For $1500 it better include a high end i7 CPU, motherboard, 8+GB ram, hard drives, and good video card.
seems like i could add this feature to my current case with an old monitor and a roll of duct tape ... hange on... yerp and since its flame pattern duct tape it'll make the computer go faster as well! (flames make thing go faster, ask any car guy)
cut the price to $500, rotate the display so it will work horizontaly, and you've got the ultimate HTPC case. (as long as there is enough quite cooling)Better stil make it a touch screen as long as were dreaming.
