for his, the total cost for building was 670 and hes buying it from me for 900, but thats because it uses all laptop parts basically (slim dvd, slim hdd, slim ram, slim everything)
my comp with the 200gig hdd will cost me about 70-100 less than his since im using a larger case, but i also spent the extra cash on the touchscreen

Since this will only take up one of the 2 DIN spaces in the dash, couldnt you just use a std HDD carrier, and put a cheap/HUGE std size drive in the 2nd DIN space?
I assume thats where your putting this new 200G HDD?
I was looking into doing all this as well, and that C3-Eden chipset is the only way to go!
I ended up just using my T21 Think pad, for the DSMLINK, movies and MP3's as it already has a DVD and a screen.
Also you can just use a the Blackbox USB Tranmitter to send all you sound from the laptop , ie MP3, DVD's directly over to your stock FM Stereo radio with zero wiring and hacking.
But when I get around to REALLY doing the sound, I still like the Carputer concept.
All a matter of $!
Anyway, nice work!
