i dont get it. why carpc AND xbox ?
xbox can load games from disc onto the HD - can do pretty much anything a pc can, other than GPS. |

The xbox is for gaming only, since my hd is full of games already.
The pc will be used for music, movies, gps, 3 cameras, and also for running standard pc applications. And I don't know if the xbox supports wireless networking. |

the xbox can use a wireless network. I think MS have released something that lets you do it - can't remember what its called.
my xbox will be used for mp3 ( it can rip from cd tp mp3 ) and dvds, pics from camera maybe. That an tone generation for tuning & tests. I wonder there's a usb gps reciever available ... xbox could use that too. I have no need for GPS. I know how to get to work and back :/ lol there's a community project going to get windows running on the xbox - I think they have Windows Mobile ( CE ) working fairly well. |

this is the one i was thinking of
http://xbox-windows.org/ i think running windows ce is more than I would need in my car. I reckon i'd stick to linux if i really really needed an OS running. |

Well i got mine for free (pressie) But i think similar ones go for about $2-300 on ebay. Mines an old basic model, that didn't sell in Australia.
However it does the job fine. I bought a 256mb SD card for it and will prolly buy a 1gb sometime. There are HEAPS of addons for the CF slot, GPS, USB, VGA, mini drives, the list goes on and on. http://www.expansys.com.au/ The dash mount i built myself out of bits and peices, then bought a car cigarette charger for it. Shelled the charger, installed it permanently under the dash added some longer wire then poked the connector through a hole i made in the dash.

ive got a 1gig & a 256mb expansion card for my pda and there is no way i could keep enough music on there to keep me happy.
i doubt the sq would be all that great too but its still very nifty ! I've written a program for mine to control my xbox - it has the full music list of the xbox and will play a song by clicking on it. works great |

Yer i'm going to use my PStwo for mp3/dvd/game duties, 9gb of music will be plenty for me. I want to make a Megasquirt EMS and use the pda to control it.
