Message	Been wanting to give the carputer an upgrade for some time now and finally had some time to spend bringing myself back up to speed in the IT industry. It is pretty amazing how cheap computer hardware is these days, right? :) ABIT K8V-X SE motherboard (with 64-bit processor support): $65 AMD Sempron 1.6GHz 2600+ with fan: $63 512MB DDR 3200 Memory: $33 Not exactly the fastest processor you can buy, but man, this thing flies compared to the P3 1.0GHz I had in there before. And for the price, I'm very happy with it - I remember the day where a 16MB 60ns stick of memory sold for $425. Box Shot: Installed: No, that's not a flux capacitor, but close.
