Motherboard opinions please

What does everyone think of this motherboard? The price is beyond right, but i do not want to buy garbage components, and obviously dont have alot of money to spend. Does this have all the necassary inputs/outputs required for use in a car? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186129

You're going to build a PC for your ride and you don't even know what I/O you need?
Don't you think that's putting the cart before the horse a bit?

Should have everything you need. Onboard sound, video, mouse/keyboard, a few USB ports and some PCI slots for future expansion.

You're going to need a processor as well. What you put in there is ultimately up to you. It's not going to take the lastest and fastest processors available, but I think a Celeron D would suit you fine in a car environment.

If you don't know anything about computers, I would think that diving in to build a PC wouldn't be the best course of action, especially undertaking your first PC build for a vehicle, since there are a lot of unusual circumstances you're going to have to deal with.

For your situation, I highly recommend either learning about PCs and how to build one from components or purchasing a pre-built computer instead.
Doing both is probably a good idea, but not necessary, IMHO.
