But then, why wouldn't you want an E450 in your trunk?
Because I'd arrive at my destination before it had finised the memory check.
On the positive side, my car would have that cool whoosh sound like Kitt in Knight Rider.

Oh, I can just see it now... "Dad, I'm sick of this song" "Ok, son, just use your terminal to telnet into the e450 and modify the rc script to exclude that song" "Can't we just get one of those dvd players like Jimmy has?" "No. Use the supercomputer. You need to learn solaris."
Not at all! I have a G5 cluster powering my custom PVR system, built a windmill to run the light on my front porch, and I recently installed a small nuclear power plant in my shed so I could power the lawn sprinkler system.

Mini ITX.
Nuff said. I have one sitting under the seat in my car. 7" touchscreen in the dash, GPS and navigation software. All in a mini-case and runs off the 13.8v straight from the car battery.
Yes, that looks geeky, but touchscreen works better:)

One more evidence that it might be a hoax: the E450 requires ~1600 watts of power and the power inverter that he says he uses provides only 300W... A difference of about ~1200W...

You are confusing me with someone who cares.
The only Enterprise class stereo system I want to hear about is the one Kirk used when scoring with all the green alien babes. ;-)
The size of the E450 would cut deeply into the space for bodies.

Overkill? Nah. We Americans like power!
