Interesting pics and great setup.

I looked at your 'suspension' system with great interest actually. I noticed that you have springs on the bottom to hold the DVD/HDD up but there's no springs at the head of the screws to keep it from slamming upwards. (I hope I explain that well enough). It seems to me that you'll hit a bump, the spring will do their job and keep the DVD/HDD from hitting the box, but the springs will also push them up to the top of the travel, hitting the head of the screw. Wouldn't that be just as bad? Just a thought. I'm really not trying to down your system. I know there's been a lot of talk about using suspension systems or not. I'm sure you'll find out if this works well or not thru trial and error, but I still have to tip my hat for such simple but functional 'suspension'.

One other thing I saw that I had a question about was your GPS mouse. That looks alot like the ebay mouse that every one has seen and many people are using. It also looks like, from the pic, that there is a red LED that is lit when this is in use. Did you do something to cover up this LED or do you have a red light on top of your car when you go down the road?

Sorry for so many questions. Please don't think I'm trying to pick on your system. Your system works... that's a lot more then I've done.
