[QUOTE="lard, post: 179248, member: 13096"] No problem at all (as long as my wife doesn't see this thread ;) :roll: ) Rough costs Windows XP = *cough* erm nothing (sure I've got a license from the many I've purchased over the years officer) Motherboard = £50 Memory = £20 Hard drive = £30 Case + PSU = £80 (ish - got the wrong mobo for the PSU - should have been £50) Centrafuse software inc Europe Navigation (it's cheaper without) = £90 USB Bluetooth = £5 (bargain) Screen = £100 So not tooo bad for a brand new pc setup - around £280 all in? What helped is I got the bits together over the last 6 months so spread out the cost (and compared to buying the van a drop in the ocean!) - If I compare it to a traditional setup: Semi-decent head unit £200 Europe enabled sat-nav £200 Bluetooth phone setup £50 that's £450 so I reckon that apart from the faffing around it's a decent system for the price compared to doing it the usual way? Certainly when you look at the DVD playing head units with the double din screens :shock: [/QUOTE]
