Looks good but that shuttle is going to suffer bad from heat in that set up surely?

What sort of spec would you need as a car pc, do you reckon a XP2000 based shuttle would do the job?

Easily if all you wanted to do was play MP3's and run a sat nav, could even throw in some old mulated games for when your bored in traffic jams!

I wonder if a XP2000 would play xvid/x264 files ok? (it should shoulnt it?)

This is what I'm running

M1-ATX 90W Intelligent Car PSU
VIA EPIA MII 12000
Kingston Value Ram 512MB PC2100 DDR
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 300GB
Windows Xp Pro
winamp
roadrunner

It runs mp3 and road runner fine. Haven't set up gps yet, still need a gps mouse. I doubt it would run xvid files though.

being a via and nothing else in the case, it shouldn't make to much heat. It has got a few fans on it as well.
