I was comunicating with the seller, and he said he'd send me a check when he got his money from UPS. I still tried to open a claim with paypal, I explained in the claim that I had a tracking number that said delivered but when I called UPS they told me they delivered it to a different address. Paypal closed the claim, I should have used a credit card insted of the ATM.

After 4 months the seller stopped responding to my email, and it's too late to leave bad feedback or file a claim.

I alreaded have wires going from my battery to under my seat, and a touchscreen 7" VGA monitor and a pci-wifi/bluetooth card with an external antena, so I really feel like I should finish this project inspite of the fact that I lost over $300 on a bad ebay transaction.

I decided against buying this one, because I think the two GB part of the listing is missleading. He got negitive feeback from the last person he sold one too because it only came with 256, which is in the listing if you read it carefully but I think the title is deceptive, maybe the speed is too.

Someone else has one with a M2-ATX power supply, though it isn't listed as being as fast, it might be as fast and has a better power supply. I don't think it came with a HD though, but I can get one of thoese from next to nothing.

Thanks for the replies guys
