Scrambles

• Introduction
  • Ive been searching, researching, and exploring these forums and peoples projects in hope of one day building my own car pc. Now that day has come, i am embarking on this project.

Just a head's up, I think I read somewhere in the description of that case in the mp3car store that it doesn't work with that mobo without low profile ram. I'm actuall thinking of pretty much the same build on my '06 jetta.
