Carputer update

hey snova, i have been searching around on mp3car.com , thanks for the link. Useful information, i think i figred out that it will cost around 700 bucks for a nice incar computer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. But anyways what are your system specs gonna be so i can relate?
Well most people there will tell you that I probably went a little overboard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My system consists of:

Athlon Mobile Turion 64 MT30 processor

Asus Micro ATX mobo

OCZ 512MB DDR Ram

2- 80gig HDD (one internal, one external)

Lite-On slim DVD burner

Xenarc 7" touchscreen monitor

M2-ATX DC-DC PSU

 
There's several power calculators in the FAQ section on mp3car

I'd look into the Mobile Turion processors...they consume very little power.

I was originally planning on getting a mobile Athlon 64, until I found out they consume 89w...the Turion only needs 25 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
I would get a DC-DC PSU over an inverter...most DC-DC PSU's have built in startup/shutdown controllers as well.

Mine will go into hibernate 5 seconds after I shut off the car, and do a hard shutdown 2 hours after. You can set it to different times as well.

Thats what i was gonna get the same board you are getting the m2 atx. Ill look into the turion processors, thanks

 
Yeah, the Turions are a little more expensive.

I'd see if you can find out what the Semprons require as far as power. I never really looked into the Semprons, they might not be as big of power hogs as the Athlons are.

 
seems like my system would take 180 watts peak.....Which dc-dc do you rec?I will be using it for navigation and mp3 and internet, OBD-2 and maybe a camera havent decided if i want it or not.but def wil b eusing navigatio,mp3,internet and obd-2. Gonna try to control it all with my voice too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif So what DC-DC do you rec?
