I been lurking here for a while but finally decided to post. Anyways I just wanted to make sure I am on the right track.

I plan to acquire:

-VIA EPIA Nehemiah M10000 - 1Ghz
-OPUS PSU150
-160GB Seagate 7200RPM
-512MB PC2100 DDR DIMMs
-Sony Slimline Combo CDRW/DVD Drive - Black
-xenarc 7 inch touch screen
-custom case
-mouse/keyboard gyration

Anything else that I am missing?
Also, Its going to be hard to get the 7" installed so where would I find a good VGA 6.4" screen.

Thanks ^__^

I never understand why people need cdrws in their cars but if you do..great.
And you may not need a mouse/keyboard (gyration), I hardly use a kb.

dont forget the various cables, extenders, wires, switches, leds, and converters.

I dont need a cdrw its just a little more for one so what the heck might as well get it.

Depends on where you want your stuff located. Say computer in trunk, LCD/etc in dash. You will need to run power cables from batter->Fuse->Trunk and then power to the LCD in dash from the OPUS, and VGA and USB to the dash.. That sort of thing

oh I see. Where do I get these wires and such.

unless you want to do what I did and drive arround for a month with no door panels, dash, any seats but the drivers, and no carpeting... you might want to have two cars
