Thanks for the compliments guys.
Didn't get much done this weekend with family in town. I did manage to get all the computer components hooked up and started for the first time.
Via Epia M10KII motherboard with 512 Ram (may go to a full gig at a later date), 40 GIG HD, stripped version of XP pro (still need to do the stripping), Holux GPS mouse and an Opus 150 watt for power supply.
I'm still debating on using a GUI that has already been written (probably something from one of the guys over at mp3car.com) or writing my own interface.
