Try and find a regular ATX psu instead, and get the machine on its feet in the comfort of your own home. One you know the machine works, then you have the fun of fitting it to your car and troubleshooting any further problems from there.

If you do want more installation help, we need to know exactly how far you've got. What comes up on the screen when you turn the PC on?

Yeah, I've been working on it with a standard power supply in my apartment. Tried it with the opus once in the car just to doublecheck that it wasn't the power supply.

When I turn it on nothing happens. The fan on the processor turns on and thats it. Nothing comes up on the screen, the harddrive and cdrom don't do anything either. I will probably just have my brother mess with it next week once I have some time off, was just curious what people here would say.
