    I was looking into making a Remote racing control car into a computer...I love cars especiallly BMW and Porches. But for this modd I am going to need a BMW so I was thinking of getting this car for the modd....

    It's pretty huge and I am thinking of using a microATX motherboard size for this....But there is also an issue with getting a power supply in it...So my question to you guys..Where can I find a small power supply with at least 350W or more? And if that can be answer my second question would be. How do you connect to power supplies together for more watts?? I know the second one sounds dangerous but I wanna make sure everything is going to be powered...LIghts are going to be included, lots of fans, and of course the componenets....

    thanks in advance
    pam...

    Why do you need 350W? What components will you be using in the mod?

    How about going for a 1.6 Pentium M machine? Less power needed and runs very cool...

    Well I am going to be using a microATX factor motherboard cause I want to upgrade it to it's fullest....I know I won't be using to much power but just need one just incase I try to do something else instead.....I was wondering and thining of getting a mobo that has ATA instead of IDE for use...So it could be faster, what do you all think?

    IMHO you're not going to get much of a noticable performance boost using SATA over PATA ... you will only notice a difference in synthetic benchmarks(like the one in AIDA32) ... the main advantage of SATA is that the cord is easier to deal with as it doesn't take up a whole lotta room ... since space is probably going to be a consideration in your mod it might be worthwhile ... but don't expect a higher 3DMark score or any FPS boost or whatnot because of it
