I'm using an old ps2 to house mine but you can use anything as long as it will fit and there are holes in it for the processor to keep cool.

erm it will but the card is agp so you'd need a motherboard with an agp slot

[mini_sam]

is the one you linked before any good then for this card??

[philster]

That touch screen would be just the ticket if you've got the cash, the pc would be fine its just a psu you need. I've sent itx-warehouse an e:mail asking which of there psu's would be suitable for powering a standard atx motherboard.

When i get a reply i'll let you know.

If it's PC bits you need I may be able to help - if its standard ATX form factor that is. I have a few spare parts that are clogging up the limited space in my spare room and I'd like to see them go to a good home, and there is no better home than a Mini!

I have:

1 x 550W ATX PSU (big, but easy to strip down)

1 x 256mb DDR Ram (PC2100)

2 x AMD AthlonXP heatsinks and fans

many IDE & SATA HDD connectors, S-Video brackets, VGA to DVI converter dongles and a 4-fan speed controller

I don't know if any of this will be of any use to you guys but if you need it you can have it. All I ask is you cover postage...

PM me if you are interested.

[mini_sam]

PM'd, this could be interesting!

[philster]

The 550watt psu would be little use for an in car jobby as you'd need a 550watt invertor which would not only drain the power but would also cost £££.

Nice offer of free stuff though.

nope it needs a pci one, agp probably didn't even exist when that was made lol! But if you used a tft monitor with a vga input then you could use the onboard graphics so you wouldn't need one.

[mini_sam]

i think that i may just build a small pc for my room!! and i have now found the perfect case, which i will try and fit everything in to!! :grin: ...its a secret! :fear:
