I came across this morning and could prove interesting for those considering in-car PC's.
As usual, no affiliation, company interest, blah, blah.

its on ebay since some time
Site Link
but the prices on your reference are ok (assuming its for the screen + pc - havnt read it thoroughly) compared to the ebay prices ..
the pc is a bit low end though and you pay lots for the dash package
for whats inside ... was thinking about something like this but then again
decided against it .. screen too small ... and have a micro atx with 12V supply
in the works at the moment
regards

I can't access e....bay at work due to Firewall restrictions so I can't go "looking" for stuff there. Good to know that this distributor's prices are reasonable, though. My only interest in the unit would be to run Oziexplorer, reversing camera, downloading some digi pics and a CD player and radio, so the low end bit wouldn't bother me. Like always, I'll just add it to the wish lest.
Cheers.

well thats already a bit :)) ...
reversing camera is Analogue out and need direct connection to screen with analogue inputs unless you have a capture card in the PC.. for me these are two pairs of shoes .. I personally do not combine it ...
Digital pics: I store them on seperate sata drive .. sure you can use the USB or such for an external drive to the pc unit and then store it away, but I would not use the internal harddrive for anything important ... for navigation it might be ok and for mp3s but then its a bit expensive for just that .... I am not really sure about the dash mounted stuff .. its a bit expensive for what it does .. and I hate DVDs or even digital images on low end candy screens mini screens ...
its a nice toy but too expensive in my book ...
