jwlionking - I'm sorry you feel the way you do. It's apparent that you have your views of the way others should act.
I would encourage you to take note that many times, newbies are provided with the information they requested, it's just not in the manner they probably hoped for. As a result, harsh responses ensue. No one deserves to be talked to in that manner, not an employee, not a newbie, and not a forum regular. It's a matter of mutual respect.
I provided the OP with the direction to help him find the solution he was looking for. Rather than politely state that he did not find the information he was looking for, he decided to react in the manner he did.
Different people have different views about what it means to assist others.
To many people on these forums, assisting other members means pointing them in the direction to find the information they requested. To other members, it means spoon feeding the information.
You cannot sit back and tell us that you believe one way is right while the other is wrong.
Pointing a member to the area where they can find the answer they are looking for IS being helpful.
As has been discussed many times on this forum, spoon feeding, while helpful initially, has proven to be detrimental to newbies learning experiences.
This is because they do not learn along the way. Many times, in searching for answers to questions, one will find other solutions that might not have been prevalent before. They might also stumble across another idea or an answer to a question they didn't even know they would have yet.
While this hobby is not extremely difficult, it is fairly technical. As such, an individual looking to build and install their own CarPC solution, needs to use technical research skills to fully understand what they are doing and how they should go about tackling this project.
I have helped a few newbies by doing as you clearly want us to do. One such newbie is now on his 3rd motherboard and 3rd power supply, all because he didn't bother researching the products he was purchasing or how to properly install them. It is simply impossible to hold an individuals hand through this entire process as there are too many variables. These variables are not fully realized until someone does a bit of the leg work on their own.
As part of my job with this company, I help large customers piece together systems on a bulk basis. Many times, the customer comes to us, expecting our company to handle all of the technical aspects of installing a PC in their application. This simply is not practical, nor is it a smart move on either parties part. Because of the different environments and different needs of each install, the approaching party must be willing to put forth the effort to fully understand the process that they are about to undertake. Without this, the project is doomed from the beginning.
