VIA EPIA MII10000 Mini-ITX Motherboard w/ 1GHz CPU "Nehemiah" core
$178 at
http://www.directron.com A really small motherboard (6"x6") onboard LAN, PCMCIA slot, video and sound. Takes regular desktop DDR memory.. Runs cool, fast enough for what I want to do. There are 2 versions of this motherboard.. The Nehemiah core is the one you want because it's much faster.
Kingston 256MB PC2700 266MHz DDR RAM
$14.99 at Circuit City on sale last week!
Samsung 30GB Notebook HD
$74.99 at
http://www.directron.com You don't have to use a laptop HD.. You can just use any old desktop one. preferably 5400rpm to draw less current. I'm using a laptop drive because I think there is even less current draw and they are more sturdy in a mobile environment.
Notebook HD to IDE Converter
$9.99 at
http://www.mp3car.com/store/index.php Only necessary if you are going to use a laptop HD.
OPUS 90Watt DC-DC power supply
$159.99 at
http://www.mp3car.com/store/index.php it's pricey but it's the best car DC power supply. There are cheaper solutions (~$86.99)but you could have problems depending on how much stuff you are running off the computer.
i.Trek Mouse GPS Receiver for PC (USB)
$99.99 at
http://store.yahoo.com/semsons-inc/index.html You don't have to pay this much but this product got pretty good reviews and I needed a waterproof unit because I wanna mount it on the roof of my car for best reception. Some folks have paid like $45 for a decent receiver
iGuidance GPS Navigation software
109.99 at
http://www.inavcorp.com/products/iguidance2.html I chose iGuidance.. you can choose CoPilot or whatever else you want. I will be installing multiple packages just to make sure I have all the bases covered and they should all work with the i.Trek Mouse GPS receiver.
The Digimoto 3.7 OBDII package ISO interface
$109
http://www.digimoto.com/ Optional.. only if you want OBDII scanning capability. Comes with Elm Scan blackbox, OBDII cable and Digimoto version 3.7 software
Gyration Ultra GT Mouse and Keyboard
$79 at
http://www.staples.com again you don't have to pay this much for a keyboard and mouse but I like the product a lot. Actually, you don't have to buy any keyboard or mouse if you have a touchscreen lcd like the lilliput or xenarc.
Linksys USB wireless network adapter
$99 at
http://www.compusa.com/ Only needed if you want to do some wireless surfing when you are parked next to a Starbucks or something.. I've tried it and it's cool.. picks up a lot of unsecured networks in the city..
Please keep in mind that you can go a lot cheaper on all those items above.. I just chose the stuff because other's have run it successfully in the past..
I also chose to go without a computer case and optical drive..
Here is my list:
>1. Motherboard - mini-itx I am running the M10000, however, there are
>newer and faster models out - approximately $165.
>
http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec...otherboardId=81
>
>2. Memory - any memory will work as long as it is compatible with the
>motherboard (i.e. speed or MHz). I am running a 512Mb chip @ 133 MHz -
>approximately $65
>
http://www.pricewatch.com/1/33/2425-1.htm
>
>3. Harddrive - you can run a full size hard drive 4in*6in*1in however, I
>would recommend running a laptop harddrive 2.5 in. The laptop hard drive
>requires less power and runs cooler than the full size drive. I am running
>a 40Gig laptop drive 5400 rpm - approximately $100
>
http://www.basoncomputer.com/TSMK4025GAS/item.aspx
>
>4. IDE 44 Adapter - since the laptop harddrive uses 44 pins you will
>need to purchase an adapter. The adapter changes the pinout from 40 pins to
>44 pins - approximately $10
>

>
>5. Slimline DVD\CDR combo drive - If you do not plan to burn CD in your
>car you can just get the slimline DVD drive (8x) - approximately $50.

>
>6. Case - There are several mini-itx cases available on the web. You
>will have to do a search and pick the one that suits you the most. I bought
>mine from ebay. The case I bought already had the powersupply built in. Be
>sure when you do buy the case that it comes with a powersupply, otherwise
>you will need to purchase one - approximately $80
>

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3669&item=3477614750&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
>
>7. Video & Sound are already built into the motherboard.
>
>The above listed are the main components required to build the PC. Next you
>will need the peripherals to make the unit work.
>
>8. Keyboard and Mouse - Although you can use any keyboard or mouse, I
>would recommend purchasing a small wireless system that runs of the USB
>ports. The motherboard does have 2 2.0 USB ports available - approximately
>$50
>
http://www.directron.com/wireless1.html
>
>9. Screen - there are several options available. One (the more expensive
>route) is the 7" Xenarc VGA touchscreen - approximately $400. The case will
>also need to be removed from the screen in order for it to fit properly.
>Your next option will be the screen I am currently using. The resolution is
>not as high as the VGA screen however the cost of the screen is
>significantly less. I am using the Farenheit 7001MHR model - approximately
>$275.

>10. DC\AC Inverter - A 75watt unit with one plug will be enough power -
>approximately $35
