I worry about heat in the summer and cold in the winter with running a CarPC. A friend at work brought up an interesting solution. What if you bought a laptop and mounted a port replicator or a docking station in your trunk and you could just snap your laptop into it and be up and running. Then if needed you could snap it out and take it with you! Thought it was a creative solution for the carPC problem, and you can get a cheap laptop that exceed the specs of most of the MicroITX boards for about $500! Still interested in finished pics of the dash BTW...
