Yes, the project was finished in the night, so all interior changes are uncovered. I'll make & post some new pics in the day light.

Anyway, when i was reading your first post and it said 80W PSU i automatically thought that it was too small for your set up..but you figured that out..

how do you like Opus 150W and the mini-itx mobo .. do you think AMD Mobile is worth getting over the mini-itx?

I don't have any complains about Opus PSU functionality. It works as promised, and have besides its primary job of stabilizing voltage a nice feature such as intelligent shutdown. However the only thing that ****ed me off is their technical design of cover screws. They are small and sit pretty tight, so you need very strong fingers to unscrew them. Consider the fact that the shutdown delay is set by jumper configuration inside the PSU. I had to do all that work twice, and I've shoved off completely a few screws in process.

As for the tandem of PSU and mini ITX, I can say that I'm overally satisfied. I'm not sure how AMD Mobile platform is small, but these 2 parts fit almost perfectly on the back side of one back seat. My only complain is the temperature of the case. In our hot California, after a day on the street you get burned by just touching the case! I'll have to do something with it.

Here I've posted some more pictures: http://www.romanchik.info/wordpress/...-factum-notes/
Basically I just used straps to hold the monitor in between head unit and console. It holds pretty well and can be removed easily in order to avoid ****heads that break your window and take out what's in it. As for the audio, I've used an tape adapter hooked up with 2 rca cables coming from the mobo.
