Any of you PC-based boys considered something like a VIA EPIA CL-10000 - they're only around 130 quid, includes CPU and on board graphics, mini-ITX, low power consumtion etc etc...

I'm waiting for the nano-itx to be released as it will only require a 12v supply (not the extra 5v/-5v etc lines). And it's smaller. I had an MII10000 but it seemed to have driver issues, so that's why I'm waiting for the new nano boards in the hope they've fixed them. Think I'll grab 3 and make a decent entertainment system out of them for everyone.

I think I will be replacing my MB soon as the old one appears to have given up!

I will be going for an EPIA of some description as I quite want to maintain my Dolby 5.1 capability

hmmmm......I've been saying for a while I should build a new PC for home...hadn't thought of putting it in the car though.

Still running with the original head unit with no frequency expander so was looking to replace the headunit with something that could support an iPod but a PC....drooool....

Been having a bit of a look around since spotting this thread and noticed that there is a meet this weekend if anyone is interested. It is at Billing Aquadrome 2md/3rd April although Sunday sounds like the main event. There is a link here at the digital car website - http://www.digital-car.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=558
