i saw the imac but since i am a PC user (win, linux etc) i rather not use a mac, also because of compatability to OpenSource and especially Hardware issues that i cant resolve myself, i dont like that.

As power converter the http://www.carnetix.com/P1280/p1280_main.htm seems very tentative.

I am looking forward to setup the following:

Kia Sedona 2002 (US Modell) with:
CarPC Travla C134 in dash solution
Xenarc 700IDT in dash monitor (since i have 2 Dins and dont want to make a mess of my car with the monitor)

now...what about audio, anybody got some advice on car adio with a car pc... especially the level (Fornt/Back) steering bothers me since the epia motherboard only has stereo output, it think it has a digital out... but which amplifier to use with a PC??

what about the car antenna , can i hook that up to my usb radio without a problem? Wich USB Radio(maybe with TV [DVB-T]) is a good choice?

Since im really good with PC's i just lack any car electronics expirience so i'd be glad for any help...
