    Will this work?

    Ok well Im tossing up whether or not to use a spare Compaq 4410US computer in my car or just building my own. If I do decide to build my own this is my planned setup. What do you guys think of the following? Any and all suggestions welcome. Now I plan on using this for my music collection, GPS, Internet, movies, Rearview Camera and some very basic games.


    VIA EPIA M10000 Mini-ITX Mainboard

    OPUS 150 watt DC-DC power Supply SFX.1215

    NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540A

    Western Digital Caviar 80GB 3.5" IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive

    LINKSYS WMP54G PCI Wireless-G Adapter

    Xenarc 700TSV 7’’ TFT LCD Monitor w/ VGA & Touch Screen (may change)



    Now the monitor may change, but at the moment this the one Im going, unless someone can point me in the direction of a better 7" touch screen dash mount monitor under $300, Im always open for any suggestions. To my understanding the Opus power supply I would be getting has the shutdown/start up controls built in so, that would mean I wouldnt have to get a sperate control, correct?


    Ok so do you think this set up will be fine for what I want to do? The onlky thing Im worried about is if the power supply is either over kill or if it isnt enough.

    How do you figure out how much total wattage is going to be running off of the power supply?
