Default Computer Mod

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/35985/picture_017.jpg"></center><p>
I own an audi a4 2002 and plan to install a computer into the dash where my radio/cd player is.

I am a COMPLETE newbie with cars but am good with computers. Anyway, could someone please give me a good list of parts that I will need to buy to make what I want work?

This is the list of parts that I know I will need, I am hoping you can help me out with things I have missed, especially wires and power supplies other then the ones for the computer itself.

Things I know I need and know how to get and make it work.


Touch screen monitor
DVD player (hold in glove box)
MOBO
Wireless keyboard mouse
Sound card (what do I need to make it come out of my stock Audi system?
Hard Drive
More USB support (hold in glove box)
Wireless Ethernet (so when I am close to my house I can transfer data)

So what am I forgetting about? Wires?
I plan on keeping my stock cd/radio in the glove box. How do I keep that working with my stock sound as well as my computer?

Thanks in advance!

This is how I want it to look like.

Default Use a blitsafe to connect the computer out to headunit.

You might want a notebook HD also. EPIA m10000 is a good hd..

I guess thats a good idea for the HD cause less chance of getting damaged by head etc..

Can you explain this blitsafe a little more? I am a complete noob dont forget.

I'm buying the CD changer glove compartment shell to see if it works out better with that case.
