wow if i knew you all were interested in stuff like this i would have posted my setup awhile back. mine cost slightly more as i didn't use a standard atx motherboard mine uses a minitx board its about the size of a cd case... check them out www.mini-itx.com they have pico itx now that's what i'll be putting in my 4th gen it's 10mm x 7.2mm for the entire motherboard and processor granted its only a 1ghz processor and not a dual processing beast like yours. great work on it. i'm also a member of mp3car, definately the place to go if your interested in this stuff.

A handful of visualization available for Centrafuse. There's 99 to choose from though.


System requirements is 600MHz & 256MB of RAM, but recommend is 1GHz & 512MB of RAM. Man, with a pico-itx that's AMAZINGLY small! Wow, all fit in the glove box or console with no problem at all! Oh well my micro-ATX ABIT mobo works and it's fast as crap at least....definitely not small measure 8"x9" though!

Nope not weeks, actually a weekend. Took a couple of hours one night to get it made, then a couple of hours the next day to sand and cover. Ran the wires inside the car took a couple of hours. I honestly didn't take that long, probably took longer for the actual planning of the computer layout. I ran the computer in the house a couple of weeks before I put it in the car to burn it in and installed windows, Centrafuse and copy my music/videos over to it.
