I was thinking about building a shuttle pc. Is this a good idea?
Or should I buy one of the premade ones?
Is the leather texter molded on? stappled on? ect....
If its molded then I would suggest laying out a thin layer over all of it to make your molding job easier.
If its stappled one, loose the fabric and put some new fabric on afterwars or leave it smooth and paint it.

since your new to this forum. her's a usefull bit of information...
many people are arguing that the xenarc is a much better screen all around. but since the xenarc is $50, many people take the cheaper alternative. But the lilliput is still a very good screen anyway. my brother has one and the brightness issue isnt too bad...
Ok so how does this sound for a setup. Please let me know of any other parts you would reccomend instead of ones I pick.
$158 - VIA EPIA M10000 Mini-ITX Mainboard
$140 - C134 Mini-ITX Case Black
$128 - OPUS 120 watt DC-DC power Supply DCX3.120
$74 - CarPC EZ v2.4 - The Simple ATX Power Controller
$150 - Ultra Low Profile 512MB DDR RAM
$58 - Toshiba Slimline CD Burner / DVD Player Drive
$93 - TOSHIBA Super Slimline MK8025GAS 80GB 5400 RPM Notebook Hard Drive
$440 - Xenarc 700IDT In Dash 7 inch Touch Screen VGA
$45 - Holux GM-210 GPS
$25 - Mini-Key USB Keyboard DGPN-570

I already have all the software. Do I need any other adapters or something? Can I do this any cheaper? Should I cut down on something?
Check out the "FS: full carPC" threads. some good deals there.
But overall does the system I picked out seem to be fine? I do not really want to buy used things from someone I don't know.Originally Posted by Escalade182

Yeah its a great set up but unless you do some serious searching day after day after day, your not going to find much better prices. I'm sure a couple of people in here have come across sites with really low prices but I cant help you with that.
Like I said earlier though, a 700ts or a lilliput 7" would drop your price significantly.
