first thing I thought when I saw your psu.

I'd recommend something more then 10A. I tried your second option. I found an old ATX PSU that is rated for 10A on the 12V rail. Though it works, anytime I tried something that took some juice the opus would go into protective mode and start a soft shutdown.

My friends dad lent me his 20A power supply so I'm golden...

I picked up some DC barrel plugs with 3' leads on ebay that were supposed to go to a CCTV system but are the right size so once I get those, I'll be able to connect everything properly without having to cut anything...I think they are 18 guage, so the shorter the better since I don't want to short anything out...I'll probably cut them down to less than 6"

I really just wanted them for the barrel plug.

Should fit perfectly. I don't know the exact dimentions but it is slightly smaller than a single din device. http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...roducts_id=205

I was messing around and thought this would be a good boot screen...and modified a little so it could be made into a streetdeck skin...

I'll post some more pics of the install tonight or tomorrow...

The only problem I ran into...well...one of them at least...was that the instructions said to use the four bolts from the cubby to bolt the monitor housing in were waaaaaay to big so I ended up going to Home Depot and I picked up some #8 bolts with washers and bolted it in that way. No biggie...

I also broke a tab or two. Live and youlearn! Oh...I also lost a screw that fell...

Ok, It's fully installed! I'll post pics probably tomorrow...

The bolts that the monitor housing was using were not the right side so I went to Home Depot and picked up a couple of packages of #6 bolts. washers and nuts to keep things tight.
