VLSystems M.Play Blast

Clever screen

In cooperation with Jeroen Admiraal.

M•Play Blast is a product by VLSystem, that adds a useful display with remote control to a personal computer. The product seems ideal for Media Center owners and users who want to give their PC a nicer look. The device fits into a 5.25" drivebay and supports a tremendous lot of features.

M•Play Blast is not only a plain display, it also contains a clever built in fancontroller. Assembling the device is rather simple, though the manual is quite small and clearly written by an Asian. It takes some time, but the job is quite easy to do. The companies website wasn't to helpful during our testing period, the support page for example even proved to be unreachable. Anyway, after connecting the device to the USB port, power supply unit and a couple of fans we had work to do.
