CarPC:
1.8GHz Northwood, Intel 845 Mobo, 512MB DDR, 1x20GB + 1x160GB, Intel GPU, SB Live 5.1
Sound System:
Phoenix Gold RSD 65cs 6.5" Drivers, Infinity Tweets, Pioneer 305DVC 12", PPI Sedona 630IX, Alpine MRP-M500
Just be sure that the old 'puter psu if you have one, has enough current for the various necessary voltages to power your mobo, etc. I couln't get one of my mobos up 'cause the test psu was underpowered.
When I was broke, I made a long cable with large alligator clips on one end, small on the other, and connected to my car batt. Car parked in driveway just outside of my workshop, only 20' away...lots of amps available...
Happy CarPC'ing!
yeah i'm on the 3rd floor of my apartment, not sure people would like me droping cables down 3 floors lol but good idea.
craigslist! or even ebay.
I am pretty sure you can find used one for less than $20
