Just dropped $500...

And I wanna hear what y'all think I got with it! I figure I've got ~$600-700 more that I'm gonna spend on it before all is said and done.

Anyone wanna guess what it is!?

well, if you just dropped it, then you got the satisfaction of making someone $500 richer? And God I hope you're not getting a superlift for that LII. The **** deserves better. Better like something I'm getting from Sean in May :)

I never even thought of hookers! I need to re-assess my priorities!

Zach and Bill are right! It's only the CPU, I still need a screen and some other goodies, but the carputer begins!

The System has pre-loaded Operating System (Windows XP SP2), iGuidance 2.1, PowerDVD, all video codecs, and other applications. The hardware consist of:

VIA EPIA M10000 Motherboard
1Gb PC2100 Kingston Memory
M2-ATX Power Supply/Shutdown Controller
80 Gb HDD 3.5"
Black Morex Mini-ITX Case
Kingston USB Bluetooth Dongle

Still need:
A Xenarc 700TSV VGA touchscreen monitor
USB GPS, DVD-ROM, FM Receiver
Distribution block
Amplifier for speakers (since I'm deleting the headunit, I need something to power the speakers)

It's got Centrafuse loaded as the front end right now, but I will probably switch to RoadRunner for the integrated Phone Controls. I'll probably be getting a Sony Ericsson S710 phone to go with it also to use as a remote for the computer and for better synchronization with the PhoCo.

Don't plan on wi-fi right now, but who knows what will happen down the road? Gonna mold the screen into the dash.

When all is said and done, I'll have bluetooth phone controls, mp3, dvd, gps navigation, emulation, and probably a removable ps2 setup all running through the computer. I'm f***ing stoked!
