Been considering an in-car PC for a while and am interested in the Pico-ITX from VIA. Platform: 350z...use: Wi-fi, OBDII diag, and XM. I'm not totally confused about how to get all this to work...but I'm certainly not the expert.
After reviewing VIA's site and mini-itx.com, I'm nearly hooked on the Pico-ITX for its form factor and performance--I'm not going to be gaming or watching DVDs, or taking over global markets or the DoD from my car.
I've got a location for the system...but have yet to source a monitor for the cubby and am not really sure how my current head unit would interface w/the system.
Basic parts list--incomplete; not definite:
Main system:
SolidLogic X07P1 Pico-ITX Automotive System
Mp3Car USB adapter for XM Direct

Monitor:

CDROM:

Input:
Mini-Key USB Keyboard DGPN-570 --kinda like this little guy
Mouse ???
Misc:
WiFi ???
AS you can see, I've still got some research to do...any suggestions welcome.
