Hi all,
I got my Ritz delivered last month and wanted to install decent ICE in it
I was fascinated with the idea of a computer in the car and decided to build a carpc, and got so exited that I've all the items ordered, delivered, built before getting the car, and even before learning how to drive![Evil [evil] [evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif)
So, These are the components for my car PC.

Usb GPS : i-Blue GM-2 USB GPS Receiver with Satguide Maps
For the power requirements:
M3 ATX is capable of providing 125 watts.
Below is the break up (Taken from manual),

5V - 6A - 30w
3.3V - 6A - 19.8w
5VSB - 1.5A - 7.5w
-12V - 0.15A - 1.8w
12V - 4-6A - 72w
Total wattage: 125watts
Power usage (approximate):
Motherboard/cpu : 22w
SSD : 4w
PCI Express Mini Card : 2.5W
Case Fan : 1.44w
Ram : 2-3w
Display : 20w
Usb Flash 8gb : 2w
Usb OBD II : 5w
Usb GPS : 5w
Usb Bluetooth : 2w
Usb rearview camera : 5w

Audio Components part.
Hertz 4 Channel Amplifier (HE 4.1)
Hertz Front Component System (DSX 165)
Hertz Rear Coaxial Speakers (DCX 165)
Hertz DBX 250 Subwoofer
Installation: I had checked with Auto shop at Bangalore and they had no idea about Carpenter and i felt they were not interested to do the job.
Then i went to top car at Jayanagar, they were little more inclined to do the job. It took 5 hrs for complete installation, i mean everything from system, speakers to gps, obd etc.
i've Windows 7 running centrafuse and "all is well"![Smile [:)] [:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif)
For the power, I've connected computer with the double din stereo power sockets and amp to battery.
I'll upload some pics once i reach home.
