Any computer guys out there? I am trying to build a computer, complete with 32MB TV out video card, 10gig hard-drive, DVD rom and wireless keyboard - and I want it to fit under my passenger seat in my MY2000 RS. Any suggestions, ideas? If I can figure out a way to get the video card and modem to be connected parallel to the motherboard, it will work. I may just have to put it in the trunk. I'm gonna put a flip-up LCD screen in my dash map pocket(where the factory guage package usually goes). I have over 1600 MP3's that I'm gonna load, along with some games and movies(for the passenger, so that they won't see the corners coming and I can scare them to death in my agile car)! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/biggrin.gif

Your cheapest way would be to get a Playstation2 and mount it. less problems that way.
Why do you need TV out video card if you want to run a LCD screen?

The screen only has an RCA and Coax input, so the video card would have to have RCA video out or a Coax video out - thus the video card(unless there is some kind of cord adapter I don't know about) As far as the cost of the computer, it will be very cheap, I have all of the parts except the video card laying around gathering dust. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smile.gif

Pure,
This is for personal use, right? Your're not making a product. If so, PM me or talk to me at the next meet. I should be of some assistance.

Get a Laptop with the specs you need. Then detach the LCD and mount it where you need.
Or if using the one you have, try a Sony laptop, mine atleast has a video out, and sound out on it aready. Runs DVD's like a champ with very good visuals and nice color.
