Checklist, Do I have it all?

**Splash-X** · 03-17-2006, 10:46 AM

Ok guys, this is going to sound super lame but I just want someone else to double check my parts list to ensure I have everything:

1x - Ampie Case
1x - VIA M10000 (if you think I should go with a differnt board, say so)
1x - Xenarc 700TSV
1x - CarPC EZ v2.5 Simple ATX Power Controller
1x - M1-ATX
1x - IDE to Laptop Drive connector

Parts I have already:
1x - 512MB DDR RAM
1x - Slimline CD-R/DVD drive
1x - 60gb 2.5" hard drive
1x - Windows XP MCE
1x - Audio Jack to RCA adapter
1x - USB GPS Adapater w/ Software

Aside from the above I still need to order an amp, wiring kit (removing the old head unit), and amp wiring kit.

Am I missing anything? I will also need some Y splits for the RCA. Aside from that, that should do it, shouldn't it?

I see 2 power supplies....why? You only need the M1-ATX. (I recommend the M2-ATX)
You'll need the HD IDE Converter, and for the Slimline you'll need either the housing or more converters.
The M10000 is fine, but if you can get the MII12000

The CarPC EZ Power Controller is the shutdown device (unless I'm wrong).

Ok, so add an IDE converter for the HD. Now for the CD/DVD you say a converter or a housing, can you show me what I need or tell me and I'll find it?

Thanks

Anyone with input?

If you're getting the M1-ATX, you don't need the CarPC EZ shutdown controller. The M1-ATX has one built into the unit.

I didn't see a processor or keyboard listed.

the via has it built in. Also, go for the m2-atx. They are both $80 at digitalww.com

I'm in the computer repair business so 99% of the generic hardware I had laying around the shop OR brand new in stock. The things I am most worried about are the more custom solutions like the ITX boards, cases, and little things that I would need to order from mp3car.com.

Thank you guys for your input and letting me know I didn't need a shutdown controller, that the M*-ATX series have it already.
