hello.
i'm wanting to build this mp3 player that runs linux... http://www.dvz.fh-koeln.de/~bn520/mpMan/index.html
and i was wanting to put it in my car...anyone know if it's possible to throw out the atx power supply & wire the system board straight into the car's electrical system...i know you'll need to step down voltage to 5v and 3.3v right? but how would you make the voltage, and current stay constant without having surges that may blow the board?
