    VW Polo 2 Coupe ( too much High-Tech )

    Hi there,

    I was wondering if the things i want to install into my car can
    get enough energie from my batterie.

    Current - Setup :

    Car : VW Polo 3 - 50 PS

    :: JVC - Radio and 12 x CD-Changer (front)
    serves 2 x MacAudio 2 Way System (70W - each)

    :: 2 Amps (rear)
    --> Condor[240W] serves 2 x JBL( 3 way system - 100W each)
    --> Rockford[350W] serves 1 x Pioneer SubWoofer ( 500 W )

    All is powered by one default VW-Batterie.

    Now my customed Setup:

    I just bought the following Hardware in the net :

    :: VIA EPIA M9000
    :: 256 MB USB-Stick
    :: IR-RECIEVER (COM1+2)
    :: LG.Philips.LCD ( i think its 11" )
    :: D-Link USB-WLAN Stick (11Mb/s)

    What i am going to buy soon..

    :: DDR-RAM :-)
    :: 160 GB USB 2.0 HDD
    :: GPS-MOUSE (USB)
    :: Card-Reader (for access-control)
    :: DVD-R/CD-RW-Burner (with DVD-RAM support)

    and .. a power supply ..

    Now my question : I would like to have a easy to handle
    nice and energy-saving solution for my in-car-pc power
    supply.

    Who knows a cheap solution or who has some tips
    like installing a second batterie or something like that.
    I am a software-child ... hardware is not my best part in
    the IT-branche ...

    Thanks a lot and bye

    It will be fine. I run more than that with an Opus 150.

    Of course the USB-Stick it is fast and shhock-protected as hell .. *g*

    The HD is for take away ... Its takes so long if you just want to have 6 or seven GB of Media in your car and the wlan connection until y car is bout 5Mb/s and that is much too slow ..
    In the german Ebay .. this 160 GB drive is about100 € which sounds greatto me ..

    What is this Opus thingyou were talkin about and how much is it .. i have never heard of somethng like that .. Do i need a 12V / 230 V converter for it .. ?

    I have an EPIA 800, I think it's close to your motherboard. You'll have to tell my how you get an OS onto a USB drive, I've actually never attempted it, couldn't figure out how it's supposed to work.

    well you've mentioned hardware is not your best but just to let you know a lot of members use dc-dc psu for clean and efficient power. i myself had built my dc-dc psu based on sproggy/mastero's 3.5 design. i got a second battery and i can have my carputer setup running without the engine running for hours.

    Hi ..

    mmh .. that sounds good.. how much is such a power supply
    in the cheapest case for me ..?

    I only saw power supplies that are more expensive than my display and my ITX-Mainboard together...

    Cu and thx
