1.7 GHz processor:............$30
1G ram:...........................$10

TOTAL:.............................$946 or around that.

im happy with it all and the amount i spend is still growing. the only thing i dont like too much is that eby701. it works and all, and the shape and positioning of the buttons of DD perfect. just a cheap screen.

everything fits well in stock locations to not look heavily modified or bulky. i use existing unoccupied space.

Probably spent close to $1000 on my setup. I think I could have probably lowered that down to about $600 if only I had built it right the first time. eg. Not messing around with a fullsized PC strapped in the trunk, inverter, motorized screen... Being a cheapass ended up costing me more in the long run. Oh well...it was a good learning experience.

HiJackZX1 · 10-31-2008, 12:45 PM

Never saw this thread, Glad someone brought it back. I have gone through 3 installs to get to were I am at now. Counting all the 2 diffrent MoBos, and all the experiments that failed, i estimate mine to be in the $6,000.00 range. I will warn people, have a solid plan on what you want to do, so you dont get hit like I did. My setup does have just about everything imaginable. I built my setup for highend multimedia.
