    Powering my IMB T21

    Hi I'm new to the carputer thing I've been luck enough to have aquired all these great parts really cheap just one problem, how am i going to power it???

    Ideally i'd like to have the computer on only when the car is running and for it to automaticly go into hibernation when the car is off. First of all is this possible or am i dreaming, secondly is there any off the shelf type products for this or has anyone got a pcb diamgram and source code on how they did it

    Thanks Domino

    The problem i found with my thinkpad ( t20 ) was that XP won't hibernate the pc while i was playing mp3's ( cpu not idle issue ). I had to use a program call hibermon from the forums to immediately send my pc to standby once on battery power.
