you need a motherboard/processor/RAM (epia)
you need a hardrive (get at least a ata100 40gig)
you need a powersupply (opus 150)
monitor (depends what size you need) VGA for sure!

there, I gave you some clues....go educate yourself!

and if you just ask for answers, you'll get blasted (flamed)

check out the newbie forum!

that will help you a ton!

ahh, very good, you've been reading! I am an educator, I'M SO PROUND OF YOU! (pinching your cheaks)

anyway, the shutdown controller, can be hooked up to your comp, along with an inverter or power supply unit (dc-dc, opus) < this is what you want (it's pretty user friendly)
and what it does is, turn your comp off after you turn your car off. (through the shutdown sequence) instead of turning off the power to your computer.

www.opussolutions.com
look for the phone # on there.
is where you want to go to get the powersupply...that WILL be the easiest solution for you!

KEEP READIN'!
