Yo turbo? got a death treat yet

Wanna run that by me again?

There isn't a correct forum... whats the point in discussing something professionally installed that is going to work, and if not you have a fancy little warranty to go with it. No discussion necessary.

Actually, it might come out to about the same.

Remember with the p4 you have to get a much larger wattage PSU. The P -M might actually come out a liittle bit cheaper.

Anyway for those of you who want some real information on this thing, I saw a prototype of this in person and it does look pretty cool. It was using a VIA ITX motherboard, not a P4. I think all that P4 stuff is just fluff, although a pentium M version is probably possible. From what I understand though, it used a standard ITX motherboard so it can be used with a variety of motherboards, but from what I saw theres no way they can fit a regular P4 and power it and cool it properly in that space.

The one major problem I saw with the prototype is it is very deep, I didn't measure it, but its probably around 9" or so deep plus it had a ****load of cables hanging out the back. I don't see this fitting very easily into very many dashes unless they change a lot of stuff with the final version.

I fail to see the "WOW" factor in this unit. From what I've gathered, they manage to cram an ITX into a single DIN case, stack an in-dash LCD on top and probably will charge a boatload of $$$ for it. You can buy both of these from mp3car.com

Of course, their cases look very nice so that's probably where "WOW" comes in.
