Anybody Done A Carputer?

I was just wondering if anybody here has done an actual Volvo carputer setup yet, how they got it to function properly, and if you have pics of your setup.

I am planning to build one of my own, but want to feel out the water on what other people have done so far. I work at a computer store so the sky is pretty much the limit for me haha :lol: . I pretty much have access to whatever I want.

From a few threads down here's my project. Also check mp3car forums, many people have done them in S60s.

* 1Ghz VIA EPIA Mini-ITX M10000 Motherboard (onboard audio and video)

* 512MB Samsung DDR

* 90W OPUS DC-DC PSU

* 27GB 3.5" WD IDE drive (old one, had it laying around... looking for a nice size 2.5" drive)

* HOLUX HU-213 USB GPS receiver

* Generic USB BlueTooth dongle

* Windows XP Pro stripped with nLite to be about 200MB

* RoadRunner frontend with BMW iDrive theme

* iGuidance for GPS

* 7" SUPER/AVATAR Touchscreen LCD

* 360W Alpine 4-channel amp

* JL 4-gauge amp wiring

The GPS receiver will soon be replaced with a Tyco Deadreckoning GPS receiver that incorporates a gyroscope and the tach sensor.
