Anyway, I will post pics when I get home, but here's what I have thus far:

Biostar M7NCG-400
Athlon 2200+ Mobile
512MB DDR 333
80GB Desktop HD
DVD-Rom (pull from Gateway )
Athenatech HTPC case w/220W PSU (will be removed for Opus 150)
Buffalo 802.11G WiFi in PCI slot
4 port USB2.0 card in PCI slot (both PCI's low profile)
BU-303 USB GPS

What I need:
DigitalWW DWW-7VGA monitor
Opus 150
Someone who knows how the hell to wire this thing

I think I am going to keep the stock HU and mount the screen below (assuming I have enough clearance from the HU dials, if not I'll have to get a cheapy HU and switch them). PC I think I am going to bolt to the rear seats since I have a hatchback, the hatch cover will keep it out of sight.

After fighting with the board to run stable with the proc, the software building has begun

Suggestions, flames, or feedback welcome.

We you did say "FLAMES", and it does seem to be that the name is kinda "Flaming" if you know what I'm saying...(light in the loafers) Amaretto, is a sweet drink, you want a name that doesn't sound so....(limp wristed) How about "Beer", or even better "Whiskey", but Amaretto, sound a little too, ya know...

Suggestions? Here's what taken:

Bourbon
Everclear
Budweiser
Scotch
Stoli
Patron

It has to be something that will fit in the NetBIOS scheme, and preferably doesn't have a space. Fire at will

How about SoCo
or KetelOne
or Whiskey?

Thought about Whiskey, I think Bourbon may have covered it though

I am curious to see what comes out of this thread though

Little update:

No pics because I was too busy installing different front ends. I have decided I am going to tackle the software deployments before I start on anything else. Getting bootscreens loaded, and working with Frodoplayer, MediaCar, and Road Runner.

I am impressed though, with no services tweaking on my part, the boot with network enabled and autologin is a little over 30 seconds.

How about naming it after my good ol' friend Jack.

Nice to see someone else from central Ohio.

I have a 2002 Civic Si and I'm starting to work on my CarPc as well. I'm using a Dell D600 Laptop to do mine. I'm trying to find a decent screen to mount in the Si dash without keeping the stock head unit. I want it to be a VGA Touchscreen like the Xenarc and Lilliput. I also have a 5-channel amp that will run all 4 speakers and sub off of one stereo input without using splitters.

Good luck with your project!
