I know it's a strange question but how can I take my pc that's in my car and make it a home pc that I can hook up to my TV. I'm not looking for a HTPC but just something to get on the internet with and listen to music. I decided not to put the PC in the truck and would like to use it elsewhere.

just change the power supply to one that you plug into the wall. but then again, that depends on if you built it yourself or have one of those pre-made versions you can buy at the mp3car.com store...

if thats the case....just go here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advf...iew&advfaqid=4

Do you want to convert it to a regular desktop, or some form of tabletop media unit that sits in your lounge playing DivXs onto your TV? The former just means buying a $20 ATX case and screwing all the parts in there, the second requires a bit more thought.

I just want to use it like a desktop but hook it up to my TV instead of a monitor. Just something to get on the internet with and maybe type something in Microsoft Word. No movies or anything.

ATX case with PSU, old AGP graphics card with TV-out, and half an hour with a screwdriver. It's a very easy job.

simply just get a regular 120/240 volt ac psu and hook that up to it and then hook up a mouse keyboard and monitor oh and speakers if you want
