That will be great!
What's going to be the best way to transfer stuff (like music) from your home pc, to your truck pc?

I use a remote desktop program to transfer most of my stuff, and update the front end software. Just leave the computer on in the truck, connect from inside, transfer files, viola, done. Also, I will be putting a USB port into the dash, that way I can just plug my flash drive into it while I'm riding...

Computer: Old Desktop so theoretically nothing, upgraded Hard Drive: $100
I am wondering where you are mounting this, did you gut it and just mounting components?

Ahh, so you are going to mount it under a seat.

Good luck with the project and keep us updated.

Thanks for the info.... Looks like something I could really get into. I have a few computers laying around I might have to look at messing around with this also.

That's cool. I forgot you are going to have internet. I've never tried remote desktop. Might have to try it someday.
You got me thinking now. I have some spare pc parts. I always wanted a mp3 player, I would like a gps.[:@]
I hate you. J/K
