jeff have you used solid state drives yet in your carputer or are you using spinning disks?
nothing urgent just curious

 

I have always used regular old spinners. On a few projects I have used laptop drives with an IDE conversion cable. Right now I am using a regular old desktop drive. Never any problems from vibration with bad sectors or anything.

You can use flash memory if you get a board that can boot from it.

BTW: I may be upgrading to a faster processor, so I will be selling my mini-itx board for cheap if you are interested. Probably like $25. It's 800mhz and runs XP fine. It just gets a little bogged down when I used to much flash based graphics in my menus.

 

jeff, have you got a link to a spec on it?
or a manual?

that might be ideal for my heating system power monitor.

I have 1gig of ram in it now. If my new board doesn't take the smae type of ram, I will be selling that too for short money.
