Hey Dray_Templar, sounds like a cool project, i'll be keeping an eye on this thread! I was considering going down your road, but after playing with the G4, I was hooked.

The G4 is expensive when you look at initial outlay, but if you take time into consideration (which I don't have alot of), the G4 is the cheap option for me. The factors I consider most important for a car PC is noise (I hate fan noise), boot/resume-time (resume from standby has to be as good as a factory HU) and screen/look quality. So far i've found the G4 covers all these very well. But anyway, as you rightly say, each to their own.

the hardest thing about carpc's is getting a decent screen.
The screen and factory look of the G4 was what really hooked me. Before buying the G4, I did extensive research into double din screen options for a car PC, and nothing came close to the G4.

He he, those specs look more like a desktop PC What do you plan to do with all that grunt? Incidently, the G4 is upgradable (HDD and Memory).

I'm guessing you already know about Centrafuse (http://www.fluxmedia.net/)? I tested both Streetdeck and Centrafuse, and found CF to be much better.

Good luck with the project!
