I am curious if your ati drivers cause the display limitation. Without CCC installed windows will let me select up to 1920*1440 on my trinitron, once drivers are installed anything past 1600*1200 will lead to scrolling. Going into CCC and changing the monitor properties will let you have full resolution. That should let you run full 1920x1080.

That case is extremely sexy.
It looks crappy in white though from those photos, reminds me of a cheapy plastic microwave

The fingerprinting part also sucks.

newest ATI drivers were installed. The manual actually does mention the fact of 1280x800 native res as well and that 1920x1080 will cause scrolling. The hardware used, was connected to a Dell 24 inch before being inserted into this case, which runs at 1920x1200 as well.

This is my dream chassis - kinda wish I hadn't have left my job now I've seen the price here in the UK.

Still, y'paying for quality and a 12.1" TFT.

Just imagine 5TB of capacity and a watercooled Crossfire set up. Be the best HTPC/gaming rig ever. Obviously, the chassis has to be black.

Been staring at one of these since CeBit - the cheapest price so far is at VidaBox ($975):

Well guys, thought i let you know, there is a way to display 1920x1080 content on the screen without the need to scroll. You can scale the image on the built-in TFT setting yourself, down to the 1280x800. Which means, you take the real 1920x1080 size and simply make it fit the native res. So technically it works
