Ok, so I have decided that I am finally mounting a PC in my car. Ive already got the touchscreen and dc-dc power supply (150 watts), but now I need to pick out the rest of my gear.
What Im asking you guys for is help in picking out a mobo/cpu combo that will run with adequate speed, but not be a huge hog on power. Ideally Im looking for something with solid integrated graphics and sound (Its not like I can play UT2k4 while I drive) that isnt a hog on the juice.
Id also like to keep it mATX if possible to save on the room.
I was thinking about something older, perhaps in the p3 1ghz range. Cost is also a factor. The standard for people who build these seems to be a VIA EPIA M10000, which has the 1GHz Nehmiah core. That runs about 150, so if I couldnt keep it under that, then Id just as well go with one. BUT, Im cheap, and like the feeling of scraping something together on my own (or rather with the help of some friends
)
SO-- Any suggestions??
