E-Touch is deffinatley the right software for your juke, it supports mp3, video, and Karaoke, the smallest screen size i would recomend is a 17 touchscreen, 3 hard drives (40 gig to install win xp sp3 and all jukebox software and plugin that might be needed, 2TB hardrive for your music library and a 100 gig for your karaoke library) 2gig of ram, But if your going to install win7 as your o/s then you gonna need double the memory and a deul core cpu.

although some may argue with me, I always recommend a decent video card to stream the visual plugins to keep the stress off the processor to avoid jolting.

Since switching to an SSD for the O/S i have found everything works much smoother than before. I really recommend this for a jukebox build.
