there are a number of ways you can build one....you can use an old pc motherboard, prebuilt systems or build one from scratch...i opted to build my own to my own specification

if you are using a PC motherboard, it will be more power hungry (cpu) then a mini ITX motherboard, unless you get a decent power supply

best place to look in www.digital-car.co.uk , excellent forum, lots of help available and if i can help you with anything give me a shout

good place for supplies is www.linitx.com and for cabling www.kenable.co.uk

Thanks dude, yep I was linked to linitx and me and a friend specced up a screen, psu and gps receiver - £250ish all in all it was which is nothing to complain about!! I've got a machine already so I need to build a custom thin case so it doesn't take up much room and I need to see about moulding the screen into the dashboard!

Thanks buddy! I'll let ya know! - It'll be a fun project, and hopefully inspire you to do yours as well

Not a bad idea...I wonder if I could hook it up to the cars shell so the car acts as the antenna - lol that'd be fun!
