    personally, i think you should pimp out a jitney bus. but i'm cool with the car idea too.

    one specific problem to keep in mind is the island heat. you need to choose your processor/case/fans properly to avoid problems.

    in general, read the FAQ before they all flame you. i can hear them coming now.

    search just like the rest of us did. you have all kinds of options for display, power, casing, wiring, processors. narrow down the question some more or just search around. you'll find all the answers you need.

    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
