What to use to mount.....
Anybody have any suggestions on what you could use to mount a diy car pc? Goign with a VIA M motherboard of course and it's pretty easy to build if you have a fair knowledge of computers but I'm a bit unsure of what I could use to mount the system on or into if it's a mini box or something.
Mostly just worried about heat issues but I also want something stable to encase or hold the setup. I'm open for any suggestions.
Also whats a good site to pick up some mini keyboards?

If I were you, I would just buy a pre-built PC from Stealth Computer (www.stealthcomputer.com). They have Pentium 4, Pentium 3, and Fanless systems. Attached is an image example. I would want to build one myself too as it saves money and it is easy (I am a computer programmer). However, in this case, Stealth Computer is worth the cost and can produce results that you never could. Just my $0.02

You know what you might be right and comes with a case I prefer over the one I found. Was kind of looking forward to it but it really doesn't seem to be to much more expensive then building it myself. Wonder what I would need to do though to mod the power supply I'd like to go with a power suppply such as the opus one so I don't have to worry about a shutdown controller.
