(sorry if this exists, did look but couldn't see anything)

Just about to start planning a 306 install and was wondering if UK guys could list where you actually got your key parts from and how much they cost. I am particularly interested in the sproggy/mastero psu as I pretty good at building stuff and if i can save a few bucks over the opus 150 then that would be a good start (then again with the good current exchange rate how much have people got the opus after paying the import tax that we get lumped with)

Cheers

I'm Steve from Chatham in Kent, where are all the southerners on here then?

Car - Toyota Estima Emina MPV
2.2 Turbo Diesel 4WD Auto

CarPC - I'm on Mk3 at the moment, based on an epia M9000 powered by a small Maplin inverter, all encased in a carpeted custom box in the boot. I have a locally powered USB2 hub at the front and a USB to IDE adapter running a pioneer slot in DVD in the dash. The newly aquired lilliput will disappear behind a cover on the dashboard when I can work out the mechanics and input is taken care of by a belkin nostromo programmable game controller. I have a Garmin GPS engine to tell Infomap Navigator to tell me I just missed a turning...

Status - Out of the car, I should be working on it now instead of sitting here.....

History - MK1 was a P133 single board computer running MP3's through a tape adapter with an LCD character screen (summer 2000)

MK2 was a P3 733 powered by an inverter with a keycorp 12in screen velcroed to the dashboard, this worked great apart from overheating, using 10A of current, and the screen getting smashed by the nice man at Toyota!

PS Aftaab001, I like the case, I built an Epia 800 into one of those with a 1.8" TFT in the front!!
