takes roughly 50 seconds from cold boot to playing music and gps loaded.

i havent been bothered to setup the software to the point that it could take as little as 10 seconds after bios bootup, so maybe 20 seconds max.

no radio reception yet :(

but the guys at www.mp3car.com were making a usb fm receiver that would work in a car last time i saw. must see how they went.

thats one thing i really do want, is radio.

sure ive got like 8000 songs (not bragging i know ppl with more)

but theres times you just wanna listen to the radio.

theres a lot of guys over at CAA that are getting into the carpc side of things and are integrating compatibility with existing units, digital processor audio units and all sorts.

wish i had the money to do what some of them have

for the computer itself, not including subs, amps, box. was around $1300, but that was over 18 months ago when all the components were much more expensive and not as common. could probably get out of it for under 1000 these days.
