2modules indeed. but it depends what kind of RAM you need to use. there are also modules of 14watt each

true, like the cutie ones with the voltage/frequency indicator leds on em

XC-C30 · 11-06-2006, 12:14 AM

think it were regualr pc100 ones actually, not sure though

Dragonknell911 · 11-06-2006, 12:17 AM

haha, well i dont think they make any mini itx mobos that rock pc100 ram
(i could be wrong, but im pretty sure on this one)

XC-C30 · 11-06-2006, 12:28 AM

true, but not everyone uses mini-itx mobo's

It was just to give info to possible atx and micro atx users like myself, who need a faster cpu than the ones you find on micro- and mini-itx mobo's

Dragonknell911 · 11-06-2006, 12:34 AM

micro atx mobos for the most part boast the same cpus that full sized atx mobos do. its generally the mini itxs who get the short end of that stick.

btw i use a micro atx mobo, 2.8ghz celeron

XC-C30 · 11-06-2006, 12:41 AM

seems i was a bit confused. i thought there were micro-itx mobo's also

was planning on linking 2 DSATXs possibly...or working on another solution that should be available in the near future.

oh and this one:

considering that one or a mini-atx...using a Pentium D...not sure yet, depends on how cheap the Core 2 Duos get in the next few months.

You shouldn't have any problem running the demanding audio software then. Upgrading is not in my plans at the moment as I am trying to save and buy a townhouse. Car vs. Home...the car always suffers

Plus I just don't have the room for a powerful computer like that. My car is an everyday driver.

XC-C30 · 11-06-2006, 07:20 AM

damn, I bet my car fits in yours multiple times (european vs. US....

).... I'm gonna put it under a false floor probably, supplied with extra cooling from a few extra fans.... or maybe unther the passenger seat, but I'd rather have it in the trunk, to keep my wiring as short as possible.

haha nope, just micro atx, and mini itx

Well since you don't have a case, I guess space would be less of an issue, but i still would like to see that set up neatly

ohh, i'd be jealous

RedGTiVR6 · 11-06-2006, 08:42 AM

setting up a computer to be neat is not a reality. Case or not, there's a lot of wires that have to be manipulated and routed.

As for space, there's tons of space avaliable in any car, you just have to hunt for it. Start looking behind pannels for starters.

Dragonknell911 · 11-06-2006, 08:47 AM

Yeah true, I personally have plenty of space, I just tossed a mATX case in my trunk and was done with it. I use a mATX case/mobo and could easily sneak dual opus 150s, or DSATXs in it.

Pretty soon it'll go where my spare tire was, and i'll rebuild my false floor. No hurry here though, since i don't compete in any competitions.

I like the way your current setup looks, to me that is 'neat'.

durwood · 11-06-2006, 09:05 AM

There are tons of places that I could hide my computer. I have moved it around 3 times already. I chose under the passenger seat once I removed the Bose amp and removed some carpet padding. I needed a spot that was somewhat accessible so I can pull the computer out in minutes rather than hours but is still secure. I didn't want it in the trunk near my subwoofer because of magnetic reasons and cabling. I like my spare tire because you never know when you hit a Chicago pothhole that devours your whole car. One of these days I will get around to posting my setup. I am too busy playing with software right now.
