monitor is up in the air. i will be getting an in-dash. hopefully the xenarc or maybe digitalww's motorized (vaporware?) unit. it will be in the stock h/u 1.5 din spot. the alpine unit will be in the HVAC control place and the HVAC will be in the ash tray. i will probably mount a slimline DVD-RW under the LCD in the extra half din. i opted for an inverter over DC-DC because of the limitless uses for it. and yes, i know its pretty damn inefficient.

really cool. i wasnt gonna say anything about the inverter, there are pros and cons for everything. I'm a strong believer in going with what works/sounds best to you.

have fun with it!

I have been really enjoying my carpc and it's not even entirely done yet, you'll love it when you're done.

and the computer i plan to cram somewhere in the trunk.
this is it on my test bed. the cd-rom will not be there and that may not be the power supply i use. i plan on putting it in a nice box in the back with a couple of quiet fans and the inverter and SDC. The inverter i ordered was back-ordered and wont be here till around the end of the month.

I had some PG Tantrum's that I really liked. Of course the PG Titaniums are killer. I'm not familiar with the xenon series. Let us know.
