Also only a few of them have a COM port which is needed for the OBD.So you could only have 1 add on - TV Tuner or Wireless Internet or OBD etc. Not both or all 3. (Unless of course you got an external TV Tuner etc) but then you would need a USB hub, and again your talking about more money.Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBean Member 400 Member For: 18y 7m 18d Location: Melbourne Posted 13/10/06 09:49 PM Share Posted 13/10/06 09:49 PM (edited) Guys,If you want to use a little more modern setup, I have sourced an asus P5V-VM DH board, that comes with remote control unit, IR Rx/Tx module, onboard wi-fi, 2x PCI slots, 1x PCI-Express 16x and 1x PCI-Express 1x slots.Board also has onboard GFX (but you can use aftermarket PCI-Ex cards too)Board is micro-atx format, suuport for 2x DDR-II memory sticks, but single channel mode only.CPU I am using is new dualcore Conroe (Allendale) E6400.Board was (all Aussie $) $140-, CPU $349-, and 2x 512M Kingmax Memory $160-Case I have is Silverstone LC-19, with std 120W dc-dc supply, and even I have been testing the system very well over the last few days, the supply is doing a great job.I have anyway ordered new M2-ATX car dc-dc supply designed for this application, which is 160W.I use 3.5"eagate harddrive, and Pioneer DVR-K05 slotloader duallayer DVD-multiburner.So a very powerful setup, for not too much moolah, only thing I still need to find is a lowprofile hsf to fit in the case, which is only 68mm high.I will be scouring the Swapmeets this weekend, there is one Chinese vendor who has a very compact but powerful all-copper hsf, which should do a neat job.To counter the heat issues, you can use C1 wait states enabled in the bios.Just another option, Panda, for the more serious carputer boffs Edited 13/10/06 09:50 PM by MrBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the downsides of so much RAM though is slow hibernate and boot time, although when it gets going I bet it flies.Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
