yeh..we did get kinda off topic there.

Hmm....and about that power supply...ur right...it really doesnt make sense to covert 12v dc into 120v ac then back into whatever a computer needs to run(somewhere between 5-10 voltes..depending on the processor and amount of hard drives). So he was smart to do a DIRECT kinda thing. But you gotta be careful with computer parts.....one spike of engergy will fry things. Thats why there's a powersupply..it regulates everything but i would give him mad props if he build a DIRECT powersupply that goes directly into his computer, that'll be awesome.

Yeh...the price for portability and size is kinda ridiculous, but we have no choice but to pay it.

Another thing about s-video. The difference between s-video and an rca signal is VERY small. They are almost the same embarrassing quality. so i dong think it would make a difference either way. You have a very very good alternative though...

Get a geforce 4 ti 4600 with dual dvi outputs and you can install two lcd flatpanels in your car It'll be cool if they made the lcd flatpanels so they could fit where zidek put his. But i dont think lcd's go that small that still receive a DVI input. BUT...if you could do that....you could have dual panels.....one for your own navigation pleasure..andone mounted on the ceiling for the "rear" passengers. Kinda cool huh? Just gotta pull it off.
