Good find.........only drawback is that it doesn't have a DVD drive.....too bad, cause it could have played movies using windows media with a dvd drive...

You could just attatch a DVD drive to the usb port.

yep, not bad. but you would have to put in about 200-300 more to upgrade the harddrive, ram and add a DVD drive. not bad for 300-400. But I think its bit bigger that most (maybe) Don't think the the motherboard is a mini-itx since none of those have a floppy drive adapter.

Plus, unless you want to put a DC-AC inverter in your car, you've got to install a DC-DC power supply. Still a great find and I'm considering doing it even with the extra stuff you gotta get. I just wish I could find out how much power that thing needs.

nah ares, your system cost more that 100 bux, your motherboard alone must have cost about that much or more (I know mine motherboard cost more than 99 bux).
I think a regular 60W dc-dc power suppy should be more than enough to run it. uses a VIA C3 700 chip, so very low power consumtion. or use an inverter.
doubt it will fit in the mailslot area, the case is way too big for that area (I know cause my system is in that area)
