Yea, the Dremel is going to be my friend with this badboy. I also have a can of vinyl dye to make it black once I'm done hacking it up. The coolest thing about the Mac case is that the top of it hinges open (with the hinge being at the "front" of the case) and the latches are those two tabs on the top rear of the case. Very, very easy access to the innards and no screws, I like the concept.
In terms of the PC for it, it looks like the vague rundown will be:
Duron 600 & heatsink/fan
KT7-RAID mobo (after a current mobo upgrade)
256 MB PC133 ram
GTS-V video card
Hercules Game Theater XP sound card
Hauppage WinTV-FM tv card
Firewire card
10.4" TFT LCD w/ touch overlay (not a datalux)
VGA to TFT controller
Pioneer 10x Slot-load DVD-ROM for the dash connected by a firewire-to-IDE bridge
20-40gb HD, 7200 rpm
- Now, the issue I'm running into here I think will be power. What are my options; regular ATX supply with an inverter, or a DC to DC PS? What are the pros & cons? Also, with the DVD - is there a better way to connect it to the computer in the trunk than firewire? Thanks.
