Question reguarding shuttle CarPc's
So, ive been lurking here for a little while now, not too long though, and like everyone else here, I am in the process of building a CarPc. Wrote out a list of everything I was going to need, planned everything out, and found out, for the cost of the system I would be building, I could build a much better shuttle system for about the same amount. Ended up going with the shuttle system, at 500 I built a AMD 3200+ 64 bit system with 768 megs of ram, and a lower end Geforcefx 5500. A very decent little system that can do more then what about even priced carpc designed ones could do. You might say that it is overkill, in a way yes, in others no, for those long nights when I have to sit infront of a site (I do security work) where there is nothing to do for 12 to 14 hours straight, might as well have a bit of entertainment computer gaming wise.
Anyways, on to the point. The shuttle uses a 200W power supply. So far, the only ones I have seen that are in that range are Meistro's. If I use an external DC - AC power supply rated 400W wired directly to my battery, how could I get it so that the computer would turn on / shut off with my ignition? The Startup / shutdown controllers seem to only be for the Via boards. Obviously I do not want it to have cold shutdowns. Would it be more in my interests to either try Meistro's or some other brands DC - DC power supplys? If so, can anyone point me in the direction? Forgive me if this post is inane or if it is listed somewhere else, I did use the search function several times before posting.
