Alright I'm sick of burning CDs for road trips, and having nothing to do at car shows. I am going to be installing a custom PC in my 96 s10. The radio will be removed and the A/C controls will be moved into the glove box. I will try to put a nice size lcd in place of them. And finally finish it off by fiberglassing the dash panel and painting it to match the truck.
Now I come back to these boards to ask for advice. I haven't really been following the prices or new technology for roughly 2 years. I am just now starting to notice 512mb sticks for like 40 bucks new, while back when I built this computer they were 80-90 bucks. Now can someone piece together a cheap but fast machine. I'm not talking super speed here just about roughly my computer just maybe a tiny bit faster. I will be watching movies, listing to surround sound music, and playing some time killing games like sim city 4, and roller coaster tycoon 2. Because not too many games are going to look kickass on like a 13in lcd. Size is an issue too. If I have to build a custom case then I will. But I only need one cd drive and a power button on the outside of the fibeglassed box case. I also want a wireless ethernet card so i can come across some internet access every once in a while. What setup should I look at getting?
