Wow...

Part of the reason for being out of stock on items is from the holiday rush. Another reason is that both Carnetix and Opus have been a bit behind on production. If the product isn't manufactured, there's not much we can do.

I would like to see, in order of least to most important to me:
  • Commell boards. May require some crazy distributor relationship, IDK...
  • MTron SSDs (maybe some cheaper alternatives too)
  • Some common Molex connectors, pins, and crimpers. They are so cheap but relatively scarce that you have to order from some random store just for those and end up paying more for shipping than it is worth. Better to get all that stuff while purchasing cool PC upgrades
  • Generic insulated copper wire of different gauges by the foot. Like say I need 35 ft of 4 gauge power cable and 10 feet of 14 gauge or something. Nothing crazy, just keep spools of some sizes of medium quality in stock and cut per order.

This company seems to be looking for a distributor.

http://www.vic-ltd.com/navisurfer-120.html

I don't know if the product is any good. Having a place like this that could afford to check it out first would make it a much more viable option.

Blue ray in car system

Using the new AMD/ATI 780G chip you can play blueray movies with this integrated chip. the smallest boards I have found ar mATX AM2 soccet boards. Sadly I have not found ones that take Turionx2 yet. The boards generally have VGA DVI and HDMI outputs. This means that you can get a atleast 720p in your car (the limmiting factore is your display).

So please add some AMD 780G boards to your list and they all have 8 channel HD sound on board too!

nobody will use that. Screens in cars are 800x480 native, so all that extra space, video processing and quality is wasted. Even if the screen was a 1080 screen, it is only 7" to 8". That is way too small to see any difference.

Sorry I left out the other bit.
There are PC TFTs that run on 12v with an external power block. I read about a guy using them in his boat house. Check out Custompc.co.uk forums. They have one of the largest pc
modding and over clocking forums.

Hence yes is is possible to get easly 720p or even 1080p.

The other way is to use a high res. (for 1080p) laptop screen, like an IBM one. Just look on ebay for a broken IBM laptop whith an ok screen.
(Of course this is not for the drivers use as a large screen is too distracting).

and in closing if you opt for using a PC TFT they all come with VESSA mounts these days so
it is real easy to mod your own car mount.

You can even just go for a replacement screen for laptops. There are a few on eday.com at this moment. you just need to solder your own vga plug, because the laptops use flat cable bundles inside.

I'm interested in the 10.2" Xenarc TSV, as that 'just' fits in my car's center console. The trend is towards bigger screens, widescreen.

Also I'm waiting for the Via Nano CPU. Powerful when they have to, and ultra-low idle to match the Atom. I won't buy anything until a board with this CPU comes out.
