Thread: 2007 Honda Civic SI Coupe Carputer install [Updated]

Thats a nice board but its a little expensive for me since i'd have to get rid of my mini pci express wireless n card plus its like 40 dollars over what i paid for the GM965 and like 60 over the Jetway Extreme board which i think is the best one. Mostly because you are dealing with a decent company and not these half baked companies that charge u to RMA a part. Screw E-ITX they suck

The Aopen is a nice board I have the i945gtt but it is prone to issues. I had to RMA my board 6 times before I got one that worked properly. You may want take a look at this thread Aopen i945GTt quite a few others had simular issue and had to RMA multiple times.

The i965 is the newer version of the i945 so they may not have the issues the i945 did, just thought I'd give you a heads up.

So here is an update to my build. I'm horribly behind schedule due to the fact i can't get a working motherboard. So i'm in limbo waiting for MSI to send me a new motherboard. I'm almost at the point of saying screw this carputer idea and just building a media computer but i'll give MSI a couple more tries before i give up.

I finally got my motherboard back but i have some how lost my fan mount so again i'm stuck until msi sends me another one or i buy another one. Hopefully everyone else's build is going much better than mine

Heya Bxsteez,

Hang in there believe me I know it can be tough like I said before had to RMA my mother board 6 times. Ohhh here's another option for a cpu fan its the one I use it has multiple mounting options http://www.microcool.it/english/whispprod.html

Thanks for the support but that site makes it kinda difficult to buy the product. I'm trying to get a replacement fan but i have no idea where to get it from. i don't wanna go to those a holes at e-itx. That has got to be the worst site i've ever bought from. So does anyone have any other ideas?

hey bro, glad to see you back. i got mine running and just installed xp.

i have some extra mounts as well as the fan/heatsink thatcame with the 965 if you need it.

YES!!! GOD YES!!! I don't have the bottom mount for my fan so i haven't even been able to test the board. Did u shrink ur xp install?

not yet... i'm going to play with it a while and get comfortable then shrink it onto the cf.

*pm me your addy and i'll mail you a mount.
