Computer:
Casetronic "Travla" C-134 C3 1GHz, 256MB, 40GB
$500 + $230 for thin DVD/CDRW (thin, I guess, equals expensive)
You can get a 60GB drive, but the "cost-per-meg" is higher.
512MB is available, but it was not available when I
purchased my PC.
Wiring: Custom
I was very careful to maintain clean reliable fused modular connectors
Approximately $100
Total: $1,787 (give or take)
This was in mid-2003; you can get most of
this stuff cheaper today.
In addition to this cost, my Nissan 350Z came with the
$2,000 Navigation option. :(
