What are you guys using and how do you control you power? Also what are you using for a video screen? I cant seem to find them for under 4300 and I don't want to spend that much. How are you hooking up your sound? Are you using amps? How are you controling these? I want almost automatic power on and no switches. I ahve been reading carmp3.com but thought I would ask here for those who have this set-u
You wont be able to power a P3 with a car power supply. youll have to use a inverter and that sucks. i use a xenarc touchscreen for monitor use. for sound, i simply have the headphone jack dumping out to two rca cables running to the amps. you wont get automatic power on since you will have to run a inverter.
I run a via board in a c138 case with an opus power supply. works perfectly. auto power on and off... survives cranking the car over etc.. i run dual 7" touchscreens if i want to.
the computer you have there is not meant for a car computer at all.
