Not sure how I reaply properly on here but anyways, Thanks for the help.  Dave, the TFT small lcd you showed looks perfect! for a portable device so interfacing with minnowboard would be a case of just finding the right pinout or connections I bet.  yes the mSata is a great idea too however id like to have the massive 1 or 2TB space :)
Ive not built this yet kenny but its going to be done as i realy want a portable PC so I can play lots of music on the move then use it at home perhaps as a media server!

Thanks Riki

> Hi, I'm really looking forward to getting the minnowboard max, one question I was wondering if anyone knows, I heard we can add an lvds lure to attach a touch screen, is there any other way of adding a small touch screen to the board ? I know hdmi may be an option.  so just wondering if there is another way, I'm not new to computer hardware but am to development boards, my plan is to make a mini PC/portable music player running from a small sata hard drive and powered by a small battery, and using a USB sound card.
