So, I'm starting a home project (as the title proclaims) on an 'all in one tablet/desktop'.

That being said I just need some help finding parts/proper pieces. I do know a bit about computers as I've built one and put one into a pizza box (if you really want to see just ask for pictures).

Now, onto the more pressing concerns. I currently have various cables and a motherboard/CPU combo to start this project off. As well as some spare HDD's. The parts I'm most curious in finding are 12'' Displays (touchscreen is preferable but regular LCD will work fine) as well as some sort of small PSU with SATA capabilities.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to take a look so I can make this project become a reality, and have Toms hardware users as my Co-Developers in this. Thank you and I hope to see this project flourish :)

Preferably the cheapest would be nice, as this is more/less a 'prototype' for future development. (future uses see bottom)

Current Requirements on the project:
-12'' LCD (or) Touchscreen LCD
-Micro Power Supply around 200w With SATA capabilities

Future Plans:
With computers all around the house and using a home network, I like being able to access them all from a single place. Currently that's being done via the 'hub' in the livingroom. BUT I'd prefer to be able to access the 'hub' from anywhere and not just my livingroom.

That's where this little project comes to play. I'm trying to create a medium weight 'portable' desktop. With my own personal spin of course. I plan on customizing the case and hardware of my own free will (like a desktop) but with less of the wide open space and large case/multiple requirements aka. Keyboard/mouse, monitor, external speakers. This project will be time consuming and highly irritating but I love a good challenge and would like to see this to it's end!

For power supply maybe this? Not too familiar myself with them, maybe a fellow member of the forum knows more.

I am assuming you are using m-ITX?

So here's a 12' touchscreen. A bit overpriced I think.

Found a 10.1' touchscreen for not too bad. Not sure how flexible you want the screen to be.

hope I helped a little.

Seems like a good suggestion, once I get a few more $$ I'll see what I can do. I'll edit my OP with a picture of the mobo, it's fairly large for now as a starting board.
