I actually put that on hold. I have just completed a MacMini installation in my car. I will take pictures tonight.
Intel CoreCuo Mini w/ 1GB of RAM
AMP 1.1a FrontEnd
MTSVO 7" TouchScreen VGA -- single DIN motorized
P1900 v2.2 Power Management
Verizon Bluetooth EvDO modem
It is pretty sweet, the power supply is wired to the logic board and puts it to sleep when the car it off, shuts it down if the battery drops below a certain level.
I have pretty much worked all the kinks out at this point, so it is great. I am a systems administrator, so I need a laptop with the all the time, this solves that problem.
The mp4 movies I encoded with handbrake for my iPod are perfect for the car, small size, good quality, so I have just been encoding via that method. Due to the tivo bottleneck, I put that project on hold. I did buy a Maxtor 1TB FW800 drive for my powermac though, so I am ready to rock when the time comes.
