Hey cool!

So what kind of case are you planning to use with it? Where would it be installed -- Back Seat/Boot?

It would be interesting to see the whole process of installation etc. Do click pictures of all the steps.

decided on the front end?

The UI is the most critical part in a Car PC since you really don't want to take your eyes off the road to tackle a bad UI

I tried roadrunner for some time but the bad usability on most skins finally made me switch to centrafuse, and have been a happy camper ever since
 

What about the power requirements? what is going to replace the UPS?

I find it a bit risky, like sometimes when your start the car, the music system restarts... if that happens with this PC.. then --> :bye2:

It would have been so neat if SSDs were affordable.Btw, I have seen people using Mac mini for this purpose. That things is made for stuff like this!

You guys should check out DIY Section on Team-BHP. Lots people have done this.

@superczar. Yes i am gonna use centrafuse. very attractive and responsive shell.

I might need your help in installation. will PM you once I get my rest stuffs.
 
Yes it should do :)

Your PSU has 3A on the +12V line (36W), 6A on the +5V line (30W).

About ~25W for the board/proc (mostly off the +12V line).

~5W for your DDR2, ~5W for the HDD, ~5W for all your USB devices - all off the +5V line.
