Buying these types of small industrial CPU mobos is expensive in small quantities, but volume brings the cost down.
Seems most of the people on this site just want a small, reliable system that they dont have to piece together themselves, that should not be too hard to do.
That would be nice, although many people in this fourm are doing this becuase they couldnt find a flexable solution to meet there needs.Also, many people here are using spare parts around the house. Something along the lines of a barebone would be nice.
Although, i appluade ure enthusiasm, building any systems may not be the way to go. Instead you can focus on creating controls to do stuff around the car, open trunk, windows, ect. Even creating a simple device that will sence the change in light levels and thus triggering the event to change a skin will be more then helpful.
If you really want to use this forum to make some extra cash, building, or finding a source for DC-DC powersupplies will be excellent. Currently the best design is the 150watt opus, but its 180$.
