So your going to use the media from the computer to run your audio? IE no cd player, just from the computer? and dvd drive for cd's that arent saved?

Yeah- the audio is through the sound card.

The DVD player is for both playing DVD's that aren't on the HDD, as well as ripping movies onto the HDD so I can store em and watch em when I want //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Road Runner- it's a Front End program.

Zalman makes wonderful heatsinks; Don't forget the Arctic Silver thermal interface. Makes a few degrees difference, and in computers, degrees == deebeez.

Another update:

Added a reset switch for the computer- incase the computer freezes, I don't have to go into the trunk and manually reset it- I can now reset it from the front //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Also added most of my music and added 6 movies (adding a few at a time- these take a while to transfer). Storing my movies as ISO image files and mounting them with Daemon Tools

Added album covers that show up in my music files on my front end program. Also added a spinning Chevy logo on my front end main menu

Here are a few new pics:

Watching 'Waiting'...screen has an awesome picture

There's the computer reset switch

Spinning Chevy logo in the center

Notice the album art on the left //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
