1 computer, 1 touchscreen monitor (mines an acer 32"), Set of good 2.1 or 5.1 Speakers for PC. Mine are very good Creative Labs 5.1THX.
You can put it in whatever type of cabinet you like, i just used a two shelf box cabinet and stuck a bit of red perspex in front of some lights.
Total cost so far is about £1100

Then you need to purchase jukebox interface software for you PC. I highly reccommend Etouch Freebox (just google it) great foum and support. Cost $45 ish

Then you need your music library and you need to tag and rename all the songs so all the details are correct, and everything has to be in the correct files and folders (Artist\Album\Song) Takes forever if your music library is untidy.

After that you may download all your album art and fan art pictures and put them into the database to display when your artist is playing.

You will never have a cd lying around again and all your music is instantly accesible.

Its is the center peice of all my partys.

Great stuff! So do you just hook up your laptop when you use it or do you recommend dedicating an entire (cheap) computer for its use? I guess it really doesnt matter...
