Mac mini March: Turning a Mac mini into a touchable stereo

You have a Mac mini, and you have a 7 inch touchscreen monitor. Combine the two and what do you get? A really cool stereo that lets you use iTunes to manage your tunes, and allows you to watch the trippy visualizer as well, yet it is still small enough to be out of the way.

123Macmini.com posts the details about one Mac mimi man who got rid of the keyboard and the mouse and controls his mini with a touchscreen that was meant for a car. You can do it to your own Mac mini (or any other Mac for that matter) for a mere $350.

Resolution: 1,152,000 pixels(2400X480 dots) Aha. Dots. Methinks they're counting separately the red, green, and blue elements that make up an LCD pixel. I'd bet my next check it's really 800x480.
