- Connect the DVD drive to the power supply, not the battery.
- Don't connect the LCD to the battery. Either connect it to the power supply like everything else, or connect it to the ACCESSORY 12v. Otherwise, as you have it the lcd will always be powered (= battery drain)
- You need both 12v and 5v going to the HDD.. you probably already know that, but there was only one power wire going to it in the diagram. =)
- You will need a wire going from the car's accessory wire to the power supply as well. This is what triggers the power supply to use its "intelligence" to turn on and of.
- There will be other, smaller connections to make that you'll find out as you hook everything up -- nothing major though. (i.e. a pair of small wires from the power supply to the power switch on the motherboard.)
- Don't forget to connect your sound card to your amplifier/speakers =)
connecting the LCD to an ACCESSORY 12v.... now what is the Accesspry 12V?
and for running the wire from the PSU to the car's accessory wire i heard of that and i put in the diagram but don't know how to do it or where would i find the car's accessory wire
are they both the same and where are they ?
how is this?
