I'm going to go with the <a href="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-133-003&depa=0">Panasonic Slimline Slot Loading Combo Drive CW-8123-B</a>. Its a laptop drive but with a Converter you can use it with your desktop. <br /><a href="http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=27-133-003&DEPA=1"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/PanasonicDrive2.bmp"></a><a href="http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/47/products_id/108"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/NotebookConverter2.bmp"></a> <br /><a href="http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/47/products_id/165"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/HDtoIDEConverter2.bmp"></a> <br />I'm still kind of dinking around with some ideas about the case. I'm debating about either putting it in my glovebox, center console or just getting a case and putting it in my trunk. I don't really wanna go through all the trouble of building a case and all the install crap so I'll probably go with the trunk install with one of these cases. <br /><a href="http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/23/products_id/134"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/CubeCase2.bmp"></a><a href="http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/23/products_id/147"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/Case2.bmp"></a> <br />I'm then gonna need a Car Power Sequencer and Dropout Regulator ITPS so that that turning my car on and off won't destroy my computer. <br /><a href="http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/162"><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/CarPowerSequencer2.bmp"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9842620-110463234971989368?l=stratuses.blogspot.com'/></div>Lucky13http://www.blogger.com/profile/08681944218466189014noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9842620.post-1104405469571489632004-12-30T05:15:00.000-06:002004-12-30T13:47:32.400-06:00Please donate a $1.00 or $100.00 to help me finish my project.

I started thinking about all the extra computer parts I had around and an idea was born. After dinking around with Google I found MP3Car.com and the planning began. <br />Here's the dash that I'm dealing with: <br /><center><img src="http://www.geocities.com/natepen.geo/BlogPictures/StratusDash.jpg" /></center></a> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9842620-110435528479590739?l=stratuses.blogspot.com'/></div>Lucky13http://www.blogger.com/profile/08681944218466189014noreply@blogger.com0
