I know compusa has some really nice high-flow, ultra quite 40mm fans. I had used some on a setup almost 2 years ago and they are still working like new. Make sure you get some nice fans otherwise the bearing will come apart in no time, and its a real pain to switch out fans that are glued so defiitely use screws to hold them on in case they need replacing. I definitely like the way that all your stuff tucks away into that cubby.

Oh and I was going to give you a little suggestion to put you ahead of the game. If you haven't already purchased a slot load DVD player for your dash consider getting a slot load Blu-ray player. I know there are a couple makes out there (Panasonic is supposed to have a nice one). It might put a little dent in your wallet but at least you don't have to worry about it getting obsolete any time soon.

doesn't look too bad. what is it a mkiv vr golf? i noticed teh climatronic. Follow the aforementioned advice. put a decent sized fan on the bottom pulling air in. put a grill and i suggest using some of that green plastic scratchpad stuff as a debris filtre. you'll get decent cooling. nice choice of location but not so hot on teh execution. the factory cd changer bin is a perfect size if you can make yourself a little case to stuff in there, if you vent that smaller case you won't have to vent the whole cubby. MOUNT YOUR HDD...ASAP! vibration kills drives.

Should I assume you have an ipod classic since your using an ipod dock cause I have tried everything for my touch but there is no way to get it into disk mode.
