Looking for a microATX board with video out

**kore** · 10-31-2003, 12:48 PM

Any one know of a mATX board with video out on the back? I'm about to start building my CarPC and the mobo and case are my first purchase. Anyone know of any? Thanks...

> mini itx motherboard

> via mini itx

look at specs. cmon man, if you cant get that far in trying to find a motherboard, than you probably shouldnt even attempt the entire carputter project.

I've looked at more motherboards in the last 3 days than I care to talk about...an none of them had a video-out plug on the back. As for mini-itx...can't find them locally and I don't feel like mailorder.

for some reason i dont believe you looked very hard.

EVERY via motherboard has tv-out or s-video out as an option.
also, the FIRST link in google for my search

mini atx video out

comes up with a company named commell.

and you are going to have a hell of a time finding all your parts locally. most, if not all of the parts you will require for a mp3car project will have to be ordered in some way. especially the screen.

I've found surprisingly few microATX (P4/Celeron) with 1394,

post them if you find some, thanks

EDIT, By the way he's looking for MicroATX, not MiniITX (Commell), although they have a couple of FlexATX mobos, (based on MicroATX) the MiniFlexATX P4, w/ AGP & PCI looks real interesting, if anyone knows where to find one, I'd be interested.

Actually, I was hoping to only buy the screen online...the rest locally. If not, that's kool...just hoping. I found a case that I think I can mount under my rear deck. If not, I'll mount it in the space behind the wheel well in the trunk. I did find a local company that sells the Casetronic Travla C134 line of mini-itx systems:

These would be perfect as they are din sized (a little deep, mind you, but might work right in the dash)...but a little expensive too. Pricing here in Canada is $450ish + tax + laptop harddrive + low profile memory + laptop DVD player. Gets to be more expensive than I feel like spending. Anyway, thanks for the replies, guys. If anyone else knows of a microATX board with TV-out on the back....don't hesitate to reply. Ciao...

ah.... MICRO ATX.... gotcha... i'll have a look around.

as for the case, that looks like a good plan. oh, and for the most part, a lot of this hobby turns out to be more expensive than you planned!!!
