MP3Car.com - View Single Post - Should I switch from DC-DC ATX to laptop?

I'm thinking of doing essentially the same thing - I finally got a head unit with auxillary input and I'm using an iPAQ to pump mp3s/wmas to it. Of course, I don't have enough space for all the music I'd like to have in the car, so I'm debating over a couple things...either set up an external HDD for the iPAQ, or set up my laptop as a server to feed music via the iPAQ.

Since using the laptop I already have would be the cheapest at this point, I'm leaning towards that. If anyone is using (or has used) a laptop in their system, I'd really like to hear what you have to say - I have the same questions/concerns as dmbrown, although I'd be using the laptop a bit differently.

Thanks,
Hemi
