    Default Running Traktor on "minPCs"

    Has anyonw tried to run Traktor on these mini-computers or even the "stick PCs"
    I'm considering to try this "for fun" mainly to attempt building it all in a flightcase or a "furniture" (mixer, controllers, monitor)

    Asus Eee Box: Intel Celeron J1900 2GHz QuadCore 4GB DDR

    ASROCK

    MSI Cubi-008XEU: Intel Core i3 5005U 2GHz 4GB RAM

    All of those are more expensive than the touch screen laptop I use for Djing.

    And you'll need a screen, keyboard and mouse.

    Well, the screen i was planning to integrate in the lid. And a screen I can find lying around in the basement
    As far as mouse/keyboard I hoped to not use them at all.
    Theres not a lot of touch screen laptops around for 170€ as far as I can see, anyway. This was more about making a DIY DJ-console than anything else.

    mos def. A mini pc for a console is actually a good route. I wish traktor had dual monitor support.

    Instead of mounting a monitor into the lid, use a pop up hinge to support the monitor. This will take up less space in the booth for setup. On the bottom of your case, make sure you have the option to add legs or have popout legs that are about 5 inches tall. This way you can fly the rig over equipment if you need to. I don't know about there, but here space can be very limited in venues and people can be iffy about you moving their equipment around

    if you put an SSD, and 8GB of ram (if supported) it's a good option

    and also, you can use an ipad as monitor if you have
