hehe sorry guys, been working on some PHP database accessing for a project due tomorrow night. Needless to say its taking up a lot of my time. The computer has 120gigs of storage. So i have about 1500 songs on there and its hardly 5% full. Regardless, I spent:
450 on the monitor (xenarc 700tsv) from mp3car.com
50 on the motherboard (ASRock K7S41 Micro ATX motherboard (4 front 2 rear usb2.0 ports))from newegg.com
100 on ram (kingston 512MB ddr400) from newegg.com
50 on the seagate harddrive from a local comp store
free cpu becasue i had a 1.2 ghz athlon lying around
and the case cost me another 45 bucks (IN Win Black Micro ATX Case)
60 on the rikaline gps using ebay (*gps4everyone is the seller)
also dvd slimline drive cost me 100 bucks
wireless network adapter was 50 or so
also i have two different power setups. I have an inverter with an on off switch for the computer to maualy be turned on and off and the inverter turns on via relay switch (when ignition is on). this setup cost me about 25 dollars! haha
then i have an opus 150watt power supply dc-dc thats starts the computer up with the car and powers up the computer straight from the 12v battery. it also shuts the comp down 5 seconds after the car is turned off. this setup cost me 200 dollars, and is a pain in the ass!
all together I spent around 1300, but this can be had for much less, the entire thing was a big mess for me, because it was my first time building such a weird computer(one for a car). If i had to do it again i would go all out and just buy mini-itx components. that way my comp would be able to be stored under the seat and things like ventilation and access to the comp wouldnt be an issue at all. One-day i will build a tiny one and sell this one off or keep it around to collect dust, but for now i like the way its setup.
Thanks for the interest and compliments guys. Unfortunately I DO NOT sell these or make these for anyone. I am, however, available to answer any questions you might have and I will help you with any problems you have if you attempt to build one of your own. Just IM me, I am a nice guy (most of the time ;-) )
