I've spent the past couple days researching around the net to put together preliminary plans for a custom carputer. Here's the system-
Motherboard: VIA EPIA-M100000 Mini-ITX
Case: Casetronic Mini ITX-2699R (http://www.directron.com/2699r.html)
HDD: Maxtor 60GB UltraDMA 133 7200 RPM
LCD Display: Lilliput 7" VGA Touchscreen
Power Supply: Opus Solutions ATX DC-DC or this-http://home.comcast.net/~zootjeff/
Memory: Kingston 256MB PC2100
DVD: Lite-On Slimline 8x DVD-ROM
GPS: DeLorme Earthmate GPS receiver w/ Street Atlas USA 2004 software
I also put together this spreadsheet to aid the planning process-
Any advice would be appreciated from anyone who knows a little about putting a computer in your car. To hook it up to the stereo I need a head unit with RCA inputs (AUX IN). I've seen some Pioneer and JVC HUs with adapters that provide these from the CD Changer connector. Is anything like this available for the stock HU in an '02 Protege? Finally, does anyone know how the DC-DC PSU connects to the battery?
Long read, I know. Thanks in advance.
