Well, it used to be a laptop based system that was built into a custom
cabinet in the ceiling, but we've since removed everything and "revamped"
;-) The old system only allows about 20Gb maximum space, and we need about
140Gb.

We started cleaning up the new (to us) ASI interior this weekend and will be
installing it over the next few weeks. The new PC (Shuttle SV24) will be
installed in a small cabinet in the back next to the fridge. It will be
connected to a display that folds down from the ceiling up front. A Sound
Blaster Live card will be added to the PC for quality sound. The hard drive
will be external, utilizing the PC's firewire ports (this allows me to
remove the hard drive easily if needed). I'm also looking into a GPS system,
since they're dropping in price lately. I'm installing an IR device to allow
for wireless keyboard and mouse.

I'll be taking a bunch of pictures as we go and post them for everyone.
Thanks for all the interest!
