  1. From another forum:

    "For the DVD bypass I used a Momentary Pushbutton Switch, Normally Closed, rated 0.5A at 125VAC, 0.3A at 50VDC. The part number is 275-1548 at Radio Shack. It's like 3$... That was for a pack of four.

    Run that green wire(thats supposed to go to the e-brake) to one side, and then run a wire from the other side to a grounded connection... I actually ran this wire to a bolt on the e-brake! Turn it on, push the button, and it should work. Let me know if you have problems."

    Should only cost you 3 bucks.

  2. I would not go with AMD right now, they have been performing much lower than Intel as of lately. Used to be that AMD was more bang for your buck, but that isn't the case anymore. Intel is also going more towards 45 nm, where AMD is still at 65 nm.

    Would go with core 2 quad of your choice ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....Core%202%20Quad )

    and paired with an Asus P5Q of your choice ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....2&name=ASUS )

  3. you wouldn't really be able to shrink the size of a laptop as it's footprint is dictated by the size of it's motherboard pretty much already. You would only be able to save the space of removing the frame. Which is why most people use mini-ITX boards for carputers, it has a much smaller footprint.

    As far as hard drive vibration, using a laptop harddrive would work best due to its anti-shock capabilities.

    For monitors, I have heard alot of good things about lilliput touchscreens - http://www.lilliputweb.net/ Could probably find one on e-bay.

  4. Here in St cloud it is still 3.17, was down in big lake last night and its 3.06 there so it wont be long till its under 3 :)

    We should get a midwest or minnesota meet!

    Yeah, and in St. Cloud you guys have that "gas bank", where some people pre-bought so much gas, they are still filling up at less than $1 a gallon. Hell, I would purchase a few grand in gas when it is below $3, because gas is always going up.
