Right a wee project I am considering is building is a pc for the car. Now I know there are tons of modding sties out there but i dont wanna do any serious modding. I have a small mediam format tower PC and have found a retractable 7"monitor with radio and tv that sits where a regular stereo would (dont ya love ebay!!)

The problem is the Power supply. I know I could get an inverter but I wanna know if anyone has seen a 12v psu for pc's that would work in a car. Any ideas??

MSI software is rubbish, its like a cheap £4.00 Microsoft media play look a likey thing.
Oddly you can do it all on a standard system anyway, I do all that on mine; home theater 5.1 Sound, Two DVD's (muti player/stacker), PVR, Freeview, on the widescreen and also on the monitor. Wireless remote and mouse which controls it all.

I am running XP 64 and my only fault is that Nvidia havent got the VMR drivers for the VIVO on the GPU's.

The thing is with some of the smaller cases they can be hot unless you get the heater core fanless ones.

PC in the car, I keep getting companies sending me info on them, there $500 or around that, they fit in the glove box, they seam OK, but thats it.

I believe an xbox 360 or even a first gen x box can perform well in this role. I have an old x box and I never really use it except to play dvds so I was thinking of making it into a media thingy. I believe it needs to be chipped and some custom s ware installed - apparently this works very well - anyone done this?

With xbox 1s going for 50 quid or less it has to be worth thinknig about, or have i missed something?
