Here are some updated pictures of the mobile mythtv project.  I still
haven't had time to put together a web page, but at least you get some
eyecandy.

Hardware:
Alpine CVA-1003 deck
HP Omnibook 510 w/ prism2_usb wireless
1 50A relay for power switching
1 timer relay (can't remember the brand) to send a 1 shot signal to the
motherboard (power up and down)

The system sets off a timer from acpi and runs on it's internal battery
whenever the truck is turned off, then if I am back within the 10
minutes the timer is set for, the machine doesn't shutdown (great for
gassing up or quick trips to the store).
Laugh all you want about the duct tape but I was out of electrical tape,
and besides the connections are all soldiered (and at least it's not
masking tape :).
