You can get the mini-itx boards from
www.eyo.com.au

Am still looking for a local source for Opus power supplies. There is a distributor in NZ but it costs about the same to ship across the world.

If you want the DSATX, you will have to get it from MP3car or direct from www.mpegbox.com. I do not think Jeff(?) has set up distributors here across the world yet.

Yep if yo go to the opus site the only local distributer is itx.nz so go through them and its works out alot more to import from US because of import tax, postage cost etc.

gday im also new to this. Heres some sites ive found with carputer related stuff here in oz

www.elx.com.au - have a number of pre-built barebones and full mini-itx systems and some other cool suff

auspcmarket.com.au - have a few different via mobos and some morex car psus. They also have a good collection of mini-itx cases.

as piabu said eyo.com.au has a fair few via boards (slightly cheaper then anywhere ealse ive found)

hope that helps
