Also, I was wondering if someone could direct me or tell me what's the temperatures that the car can get in different areas of the car, and what's the maximum temperature the comptuer can handle when its idle and when its in use.

I'm using the fanless version of the Via SP-8000. My case (Morex 3688B) has a fan but I am running without it plugged in for several months just to see if the system can handle it. It has been over 100 degrees the last few days and I have seen no issues.
