Hi Y'all, i had a pcchips mb laying around with a celery 400, so I shoved it into a small box (temporary case for now), along with a 2.5 gig harddrive and a cdrom, currently using it for mp3s in the car..yeh I know it's overkill. I'm using it with a 150watt dc invertor, you guys think it draws too much power to be a problem? i don't have a power measuring device or something. also the hard drive is set on suspend after 1 minute and cpuidle is also being used.
thanks for any input, later guys.

** yes i do know car mp3 players and portable mp3 cd players exists, but what's the fun in that.

If your car starts without trouble and you dont notice any problems, then theres nothing wrong.
