Brian,
        think via eden board and casetronic case. 12V power supply.
haven't fried it yet in my van where voltage varies between 10.6V and
16.3V. total cost as an ltsp terminal: $181 + delivery. i bought enough to
get them shipped free of charge. the sound is awful in ltsp (and great
when you run windoze :-(  )
