Reply With Quotewell after various problems with on board sound cards and lack of ACPI support for proper hibernation with the opus (even thought my motherboard supports it - stupid microsoft), my carputer finally works.. i *****ing love this thing!
well its all in, and mostly working! One thing i found out is that Hibernating doesn't like almost flat cmos batterys... mine keeps resetting the bios and then it wont come back out of hibernation, so until i get the battery replaced i have to shutdown fully, which is a shame, as i had startup to music playing (using s3 hibernation) less than 15 sec which for me is good as it takes me longer than that just to get out of the garage!
the only other problem thus far is that my on board sound is only outputting one channel. crappy realtek ac97. i guess i shouldnt complain, it is a second hand mobo. good excuse to get a creative external usb one though.
took the car for its first test drive with it all installed and it kept working. carpc survives cranking.
so all that is left now is to add a new soundcard, my sony rmx2s remote, usb gps, and maybe wifi...

I like it, im going to use the hdd rail idea in my pc. I got a quote of $70 a sq meter for the 3mm stuff how much did you get it for? and how much of it did you get? My case will be smaller, prolly wont use more then 1 meter.
Did you glue the mobo face plate in or just quezzed it in?
