I have comtemplated it before but figured it was too much hassle. 1. How would the issues of power be worked out? Cause when you switch the car off you'd want the computer to power down also otherwise you'd end up with a flat battery. 2 When you started it back up, wouldn't it take to long to boot up to be functional? 3 Also, with a regular Cd player, it remembers where your CD was up to, so when you switch it back on it continues where it left off. How would you do this with a PC? If you left it on, wouldn't it cause your battery to go flat? There are a few ATX power supplies that will power down the computer properly when you ignition is turned off. They have delays so that it shuts down after 10 seconds, 10 mintes, 20 minutes, an hour, etc... I'd be leaving it on 10 minutes, that way if you just stop off at a servo or something you can come back to the car and don't need for it to boot up. There are copies of windows that are stipped down and boot quick. There are also some similar Linux distributions. Winamp will continue playing at the song that it was last on, and I'm sure you could get a plugin that could also remember the position in the middle of the song that it stopped at.
