Continuing the recent trend of small, all in one PC postings here at Neowin is the VoomPC "carputer" from Mini-box.
Based on VIA's EPIA series Mini-ITX motherboards, the VoomPC series x86 car PCs are specifically designed for low power conditions. The systems have an integrated 12V power supply to avoid power surge damages and eliminate battery drain, even when the car isn't running. Utilizing the VIA C3 processor, VIA and Mini-box claim the system uses no more than 15-30W of power at any time, which is less than the dimmest of parking lights. The unit features all the connectors one would expect, such as USB 2.0, Firewire, Ethernet, PCMCIA types I and II, S-Video, VGA, and six channel audio.
Barebones prices range from $299 to $399. The VoomPC is compatible with both Linux and Microsoft Windows.
