Thanks man, It was a painful process in more ways then one, but I'm more then happy with the outcome. Not 100% complete yet either.

http://www.baxo.ca/vehicles.php is my website for the cougar that i'm working on this week,

I'm not sure if there are any new pics there as of yet. But I'll probably have more pics tonight. That's where i'm going to keep up to date information on how the cougar progresses over this winter.

Well those pics aren't bad. My bro's pretty much a pro photographer now, so him and I are going to go driving around the Niagara area and take some nice scenic photos of the cougar this weekend. So more pics will be on their way after this weekend.

and Yes.. I'm a web designer.. Well actually a web programmer. I build web-based applications. My design skills are natural ability.

That's the common choice to go with is a windows based system..
BUT since it is already rare to have a 5 speed and a 2.3 Turbo In a Cougar.. I thought why not be different with the car computer as well?

That's my power supply.. the guy designed it specifically for putting a mac mini in a car.

The mac mini I think is perfect for the car. Essentially.. all you need is the Mac Mini, this power supply and a screen and you've got a fully functioning car PC.. I have absolutely no regrets and it works good.

THe power supply has a lot of bugs that still need to be fine tuned. However as far as giving power to the mac, it does it's job.

Hmm interesting, the Best Buy my buddy works at here in AZ put one into a Denali, and one into an Escalade. I guess they just used a regular power inverter though, so the cars each have like 3 extra plugs under their seat or something. They used touch screen LCD's though, and some bluetooth collapsable PDA keyboard. It was pretty trippy. I wouldn't mind having one in my car. As far as systems go I am not sure what all they had, but I would imagine that it was bumpin.

the mini itx's have some special power supplies that will shut down and boot your car upon turning it on and off. pretty cool sounding but i havne't looked into it too much.

The p-1900 does the same for the Mini. my Mini boots up when the car starts. Then with the p-1900 i have an option of having it shut down when i turn off the ignition, or have the mini go into sleep mode.
