Everything is there except a hard drive, and minor parts (cables, etc.) Hope that helps.

Yes, but you don't want one, trust me. Having been through numerous home-made psu's and a PW-60 and ITPS, now bought an Opus 90W.. It gets expensive!

Just get a good one to start with

How about the Arise power supply. It is like 120W and I paid $88 shipped for it directly from Arise. http://arisecomputer.com/ps/mpd810.asp

Anyone ordered from Milestone Computer? That Lilli price looks nice

f250crewcab- You aren't gonna get much gameing wise out of a via system, thats just not what they are made for.

also, if yoru f250 is like my f150, you have space under cup holders, etc. I'm gonna try to fab me up a center console to put my comp in. If you do that, get a shuttle barebones.

I just started getting parts for mine:

Shuttle SK41G

Mobile AMD Athlon 2400+

Where do you plan to put your stuff (and what year is your truck?)
