I've been piecing together the parts for a car-PC over the last few months. Reccommendations: - Definately use a laptop hard drive as they won't as easily loose sectors from bumps. - If you use a laptop HDD you will need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter such as this: http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-to-3-5-HP-L...7896QQcategoryZ31513QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - Use a MiniITX Motherboard. They're small (8.5" x 8.5"), and work very well for CarPCs Good luck with your CarPC Kevin!!

Thanks a lot Luke. I am actually thinking about building one of my own, because to get all the features in ones these web sites sell it will cost me around $1500 for that money I can build 3 very powerfull Car PC's I already figured out all the parts that I will need and I got some connections that will help me get them parts no tax and with big discounts.
