So im making a car puter

[WarDemon666]

Anything around 1ghz, 256 megs of ram is enough..

getting a lilliput 7" touchscreen, just want to know, will a usb extension cable be good to bring the touch screen from the front of the car to the back? or do I have to put the computer somewhere up front?

Also, im going to buy a 12V power supply with a built in shut down controller, they are like 100 watts or something, is that going to be good enough?

Thanks for all advice

Can you post links up to places selling that monitor.

I am working on a similar project to you.

I already built the system, just waiting on monitor until i have some cash. If you click on My System at the bottom you can see what's in it.

It's based on the Shuttle SN95G5 V2.

When I do get the monitor I am also going to buy an ATX mobo and a much lesser 939 CPU. Then I'll throw the lesser CPU into the Shuttle, throw in some cheap memory, and put the 3200+ in my tower.

You say that like a 3200+ is top of the line.

 

[Ze Mad Doktor]

LOL well it's not bottom of the line either.

The far bigger problem in my system is the FX5200 🙂

Maybe I wouldn't move the 3200+ out. It would all depend on when I am ready to do all this and what prices are at the time.

id apprechiate it if someone could find me a decent SMALL mobo, and the cheapest cpu for it around...

Thanks.
