    Can someone help me figure out how to make my carpc cheaper!?

    Pasted from below:

    Anyone want to help me figure how to get this thing cheaper:

    DCX3.1209U Automotive 90W DC-DC Power Supply for mini-ITX - OPUS $155.00
    M10000 VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemiah Mini-ITX Motherboard*** $160.00
    C138S Casetronic C138 mini-ITX case Silver 90W $151.00
    DDR266-512 PC2100 / DDR266 memory 512 MB for EPIA M/ML/MII/PD $103.00
    CW-8123-B Panasonic CW-8123-B Slimline Slot Loading CD-RW / DVD
    - Adapter - $95.00

    ST3200822A 3.5" Seagate Barracuda 200 GB Hard drive $137.00

    Sub-Total: $801.00

    YIKES!

    This is a lot more than I anticipated! I guess I can get a Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 250GB for 130 so that will save me 7 bucks.

    THANKS!

    WOW!!!! A NOOB THAT USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!! OMG!!!! And better yet, it looks as if he actually read the titles to the stickys!

    Though he did post the question before searching throughly....lol

    hehehehhee

    a 'chrome license plate frame' does NOT count as a mod.....neither does changing your light bulbs or putting in different floor mats....or....lol

    lol - well, I guess that's what I get when I come to work after being home sick for two days....only to find that the professors and faculty and staf here are as stupid as they were before I left...

    this has got to be one of the best to date...

    I want my printer moved from the front of my desk to the back.....can I have you stop everything you are doing to come move it for me?

    IT'S FRIGGIN 2 CABLES!!! power, and pritner....simple as unplugging it, move it, plug it back in....WHY DO YOU NEED COMPUTER SUPPORT TO DO THAT?!?!?!

    heheheheh

    That Infinity rocks man! Can't wait to see the carputer in action for that thing. I would say hit up a M10k with 512MB of memory and a 40GB external drive with a 1GB compact flash to run windows off of. Gotta have the DVD slim drive (if your vehicle doesn't already have DVD that is)

    sure....and no, TINT DOESN'T COUNT EITHER!!!!!!!

    why don't you put in there that you changed your oil and used 5.5 qts and a Fram filter (part number 029376-9) as a mod? it would fit!
