well after a few weeks of trying to get the best deal for parts... i've paid for everything but my 512mb stick of ram (pending)

m2-atx $80 (new)

epia cl-10000 1ghz $55 (used)

7" In-dash LCD vga/touch (DWW-700H) $190 (used)

40gb 5400rpm drive $30 (almost new)

512mb ram $25 (used)

slim dvd + ide converter $15 (used)

pioneer Aux adaptor + MINI RCA converter $25 (new)

IDE converter $8 (used)

usb hub $5 (new)

usglobalsat br-355 (already had)

$437 total

All prices include shipping

The only thing i slightly overpaid for was the m2-atx. I missed out on one for $65 shipped new by about 5 minutes so I didn't want to wait anymore.

just so you know that pink foam under your mobo which it came in ,is proven to be conductive,so remove that and put a static proof bag instead. good luck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
