Just wanting to get everything in about 2 weeks, so i can start fiberglassing a lot of my stuff. Thanks guys any help is much appreciated.

That's just what you need for you XPC. You just take out your XPC's power supply and swap in the OPUS DC-DC XPC power supply. It's specifically designed for the XPC.

Hi, if this is GHOSTWHISPER from MSProtege.com, you might want to check out some of the Protege setups here and on the MSProtege board. I'm not using an Opus, But I'm pretty sure ddog_777 is and maybe Knubile too? Possibly some others too, but I can't remember them right offhand. Good luck

Look for me on the track, cause that's where you'll find me.
thanks man yeah its me, i have been looking around there too, some people are quite helpful, what are you using for it, i thought about just making my own, i mean i have done it before, all i need is the schematics for it and it wouldnt be that hard, i dont know I could spend the money but it is hard to justify me to spend 212 for something i could build for about $40. But I dont know, I know it wont be that hard to do everything, but i say that now. All probably get started putting it all together at the end of the week.
lol kate i was gonna say the same thing about checking the other p5's on the boards with carputer setups
