[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 3221905, member: 570956"] For not including a screen, that seems a bit pricey. The cheapest way to go is to just use a MicroATX motherboard and just build a computer off of it, [URL="http://www.newegg.com"]http://www.newegg.com[/URL] is the way to go. It is much easier to get more power with less money going this way, however the tradeoff is obviously the form factor. That motherboard is only 17cm square and comes already installed in a neat little case with all the other stuff. The cheaper route will have much larger components, and will most likely require custom fabrication. I'm a big fan of doing things yourself, and a CarPC has always been a project, not just something you buy and install like a head unit or something. Do you want to put in work, or spend a bit more and get something that's pretty much ready to go? It's up to you. [/QUOTE]
