If your looking to put a computer in you car, which by the way is the greatest way to have dvd, mp3, and digtal video, engine management functions, your best bet is to simply search google for barebones system. These cases will be small enough to fit into your glovebox etc. I just got one, built my system using some laptop parts and now have a car computer. I think everyone needs to get one of these so they can clock their own 0-60s and 1/4 miles. Had it professionally installed by a buddy who owns a small car stereo shop. (ill build it but no way am i going to screw around with my Z's battery/wiring). I have to recommend this set up. I did it all for under 1500, plus a screen in the nav cubby. Great set up, will try to get pics up soon.

 

Can you post some details of the components, powersupply etc. What form factor ? Mini-itx?
