This casing bought from Hong Kong through Ebay comes with a video cable, usb cable, power supply, manual, small scredriver, 4 screws and a remote control. The hard disk has to be bought separately but i'm sure there are some other people selling this on ebay complete with the harddisk.
Basically, with this portable player you don't need to burn your media on a CD to be able to play it on your TV screen or monitor. You can copy your media straight onto the disk (just like a normal removable drive) using the USB cable and play it directly on your tv screen using the RCA(yellow, red, white) cable. It supports many media format such as MPG, MPEG, MP4, AVI, MP3, and JPG. Being a media player, it doesn't mean you can only put media files on here, you can backup all your files on this portable hard disk just like you would on a normal portable HDD.
Here's the inside of the casing. As you can see it has a mini usb connector, 5V connector, VGA connector and two green connector which is the RCA and Audio connector. It also have a SD card slot if you want to play media straight from your SD card. If you want to play your movie using a monitor, it can be connected directly to a monitor without the tower. This is useful if you have LCD TV with VGA connector. As for audio, the audio connector can be use to connect to any standard speaker.
The only problem i have with the casing is pre-formatting the harddisk for use. When i first plug this harddisk, my PC doesn't even recognize it as a removable drive. I have to format the harddisk using another USB to IDE converter to be able to use it. It has to be formatted as FAT32 otherwise it won't be recognize by the software. Just in case somebody is wondering, yes there is a SATA version available.
I've tested it on both TV screen and Monitor and it works wonderfully well. Easy to navigate and very quick. Anybody interested can search for them on ebay.
