Yeah, go with the Opus. Unless you have a low power PC, my PSU won't be enough for your system anyway. | |

Screen and inverter both arrived this morning, should get a go as starting to install it this evening, i will get sum pics up as it goes along! BTW, i am putting the screen behind the gearstick on the centre console!! Cheers | |

quote: not a problem mate :) I was looking at doing this a few months back and thought it was a good idea, but what i wanted it to do would have been a real git to do, so i gave up on it. But yea, when you put the system in fully, it would be better to either build your own 12vPSU (Robs schematics of his PSU look pretty good from what i can tell :)) or buy one (loads of people have done it, just look up 'Mp3 Car' in google and there will be loads of results). Anyways mate, keep us posted about it, would be interested in what the outcome is etc :thumbs: | |

It's a lot cheaper to use an inverter, that's the main benefit of it (espeically when you already have an AC ATX PSU). | |

cool, i am using onboard graphics and a single 20gig hdd, there is also a dvd drive, but i could disconnect that! I connected it to a 150w inverter for a laugh and nothing happened! cheers | |

400 should be fine. depends what other components you're running : high powered graphics cards, how many drives, etc. | |
