[QUOTE="CJ8501, post: 4768240, member: 572049"] Ok, let me try helping you out a bit... First of all. go to Mp3car.com and read everything.... Read all the FAQs, read the newbie guides, read everything.. Second, search like crazy! As for the components you listed, where to start? The screen is no good. You need a VGA touchscreen. The resolution on that screen is complete and utter crap since it has no vga in, and you cant interface the touchscreen by just plugging it into a computer :/ 7" VGA Touchscreen is usually the norm. They make 8.4" and other sizes also. As for the computer part, check out mini itx boards. You also need to power this thing while its in the car, so look at DC-DC PSU with startup and shut down controls built in. Add in a hard drive and case. But seriously, go to mp3car and read the hell out of the forum posts. And good luck. I ran a carputer about 4 years back and it was ok. Much easier for me to just put songs on my ipod and connect it to my HU or get a nice Double din system like an AVIC-D3 or W205/W505 [/QUOTE]
