Thanks for the info. I am not to worried about the sx i dont have the budget to go out and spend 400-500 on just the box. From a horse power point of you the sx should work??
Optiplex SX280 units suck. I have a shelf full of dead ones in my office.
And, as BB said, they aren't easy to power in the car. You're better off buying an EEE box.
