Answer
You will need

1) motherboard
2) processor
3) power supply
4) RAM
5) Fans - processor
7) Fans - power supply & case
8) Hard Drive
9) Optical Drive DVD/CD writer
10) Case
11) Graphics Card
12) Sound Card
13) Ethernet Card - if using ethernet to connect to internet

Those are the basics...you can check out and compare the prices on http://www.newegg.com

To place any operating system onto the new computer you will need to purchase the operating system disk..you can also check the prices on those at the same location....to install simply pop in the disk and boot it up...the rest is a step by step onscreen instruction guide.

When I last priced my monster of a PC it came out to around $1100 give or take...that is the PC only no additional items like a mouse, screen, speakers, etc.

Spec are

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 2 X 4MB L2 Cache
RAM: 4GB DDR2 SDRAM 1066 240 Pin (PC2 8500)
Internal Hard Drive: WD Raptor 300GB 10,000 RMP 16 MB Cache Sata 3.0/s OEM
External Hard Drive: Fantom 1TB USB 2.0 / SATA
DVD Burner: LG Black 20X DVD+R
Video Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GT 512NM 256-GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 Ready SLI
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI

Build that and you will also have one monster of a PC....all the parts were priced off http://www.newegg.com

What amplifier i need for my car PC project?

Alexis C

I have a 2008 VW golf GT with the standard 8 speakers package and i am planning to put a car pc. I will remove the oem Head Unit and put a 7" inch lcd monitor. I will need an amplifier to connect the speakers to it and then the amplifier to the carpc. My question is what type of amplifier i will need? I will have to buy 2 4-channel amplifiers?

Thanks in advance

Answer
A 4-channel with an optional mono amp for subs.

For a "carputer" the idea is to have a "non-hard drive" based computer that runs stand alone Windows XP/Vista from a Bootable USB drive that runs the music player of your choice using plugins.

Your MP3's are stored on another USB drive that can be removed for editing.

This all ties into your sound system (amps, subs/speakers).

No hard drive means nothing will crash. A touch screen display is really the only other peice of equipment needed that can be custom mounted in your dash as you say.

Look up BartPE and Sherpya. These two guys found a way to run the full GUI of Windows XP on a USB drive (under 600 Mb).

A shuttle style computer is all you need for the computer. You can even have 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby digital.

Here is a good place to start:
