Thread: Help me design my system :)

I've got a van with a decent flat fronted dash in wood, which I'll be replicating and building the system in to.

I have a nice centre console to mount the TFT.

I'll be using Windows XP Pro and probably Media Engine

Other things:

I have a 4 x 20 LCD, a 3 1/2 inch amp and graphic equalizer which runs off the PC PSU and produces 2 by 40w (Enough for me), a laptop DVD drive, and a serial 4x20 LCD if I want it too. I've got a PS2 keypad, and finally a serial infra red receiver and remote.

So how do I do my system?

Should I even use the LCDs as I have the TFT? Or should I use the LCD to navigate once I am in the MP3 software, using WinAmp as the output?

For purely flash purpolses, should I use the second LCD? If so, what do I display on it that can run all the time?

Should I mount the Amp/equalizer (which also has a volume control know on it and level indicator in LEDs) to be shown or more of a stealth install?

I'm after ideas here people - help me!!

I'll be using an Epia-M 9000 with 256DDR going out to a 12.1" TFT screen (Running off inverter). The PSU is 110w (Also off inverter for the mo). Hard drive is a 60GB 5400 rpm.

I may throw in a stealth mounted Compact flash reader too for downloading of digital camera images - thoughts?

Cheers,

Majik
