PRICE: $1050

After piecing together the best parts I can find for my dream of having a car computer to play movies including divx format, navigation, wifi surfing, AEM gauge display, etc; I have came to a crossroad. The car is being race prepped to go to the circuit, and many old timers suggest me to take out all the weight I can and not add anymore. So here I am.

Original Prices (Total: $1350):
Panasonic LCD + Custom motorized enclosure: $568
VIA EPIA M10000 Mini ITX motherboard + goodies: $158

All Cables are magnetic insulated. I chose them because all wires suppose to be run under the carpet and I didn’t want any interference.

Because of the flexibility of the motherboard, I wanted to try to see which kind and what size memory is the best/fastest for hibernation, I got extra memory. I will throw them in for free, since you will only need to use one of them. PC2100 256MB; 100MHz sync 256MB; 100MHz sync 128MB; 100MHz sync 64MB. All memories are the fastest of their breed, 2.5 and 2 clock cycles.


As many of you who bought thing from me before know, everything I only get the best out there. I do tons of research before I purchase anything for my gsr. And of course I always do good deals. I think $300 off might make a lot of people happy. So I will sell everything for $1050. All this will go out in 2 boxes; I will split shipping with you, and insurance is optional. I only ship UPS or Fedex, since this is the only safe way.

I have preinstalled Windows XP Professional ($100), Iguidance navigation software (the best I found) ($100). And I will include a front end interface and directions to get info on making your own custom skin for easy program access.
