I've often thought that perhaps we ought to post a description of 3 different systems that Newbies could follow. For example:

System 1 - "The Low Power Special".

Characteristics: low electrical power consumption, relatively slow processor, capable of meeting most carputing needs. DVD, mp3, GPS, etc.

Parts:

Motherboard: Epia Via 10000 ($160)
Memory: 512mb ($95)
Disk drive: 60 gig Fujitsu 2.5" laptop drive ($95)
Screen: Lilliput 7" with touch ($280)
Power: M1-ATX90 ($79)

Add your own: keyboard, mouse, audigy sound card

Total System Cost: $709

And maybe a couple of others like a mini-ATX, or Shuttle, or full blown gaming machine.

Then sticky it so the n00bs would have something to reference
