The Goose-Lightening PC

I just changed the computer case to an Asus Pundit recently as the other one was just too big. I got it for 120 bucks new so I can't complain. The 8" touch screen is nice but ever since I got the Firefly remote I havn't been using the touch screen very often anymore. I definately reccomend it. I use it with Media Engine, Beyond Media Basic and Street Atlas 2004 and it's easy to switch in between all of them with the remote. It's easy to configure for most programs to do what you want it to. I made my own skin from a logo and a skin posted on mp3car.com so I'm not taking any credit for that stuff, I just want it to look the way I want it to. Hopefully I'll get around to an 802.11g adapter but for now...ehhh. It's running on an inverter(150 watts from an opus doesn't go very far) and a shutdown controller with the tank battery circuit that seems to work 90% of the time.
