It is micro-atx, just low profile.

Meaning you can't put any tall pci cards, just low profile.
Big heatsinks may be a problem as well.

The power supply in mine was about 150watts and very picky...

So where could I buy it? It looks smaller than the ones I've been seeing.

I bought it off of ebay. Its an ITX or Micro ATX case.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...713165544&rd=1

$35 bucks. My only complaint is there's no plugin on the power supply for a floppy drive. I got around it by making an xp boot cd.


And btw, i thought you meant you had an nissan not a chrysler. I drive an 01 altima.

That's wacked, your dashboard looks almost identical so I figured you had the LHS. My case however is identical and it had fdd and multiple hdd connections. Guess that goes to show you that even if things may look the same, they can be very different...

Display bending might be due to the voltage dropping due to the subs hitting? If that's the cause you can use a capacitor to fix that (use this as a last resort though), adding thicker wire will probably help a lot too.

S-Video will help with clarity because the luminance and chrominance aren't munged together in the signal. I don't think composite and s-video have a line limit afaik.. there's some sort of bandwidth limit though... i think with svideo it's roughly equivalent to 1080i scanlines?

Switch to allow soft shutdown / hibernation? you can set your atx power button to hibernate on push in power options in control panels, that might be sufficient?

The Bending i solved by running the monitor power wires to the psu, then grounding the case. The S-Video helped clear up the images. I'll have to check the control panel options. i didnt know that was available. Thanks!
