Firstly i got purchased the media player off ebay there a re 2 types
- one takes a 3.5 " hdd ide , the downside to this is they are quite big and woudl have to be mounted under the seat and a infra red extender would have to be used (250 g max)
- the smaller of the 2 take a 2.5 " laptop hdd and will fit comfortably in the tussue holder of the falcon (80g max)
after getting the media centre i had to power it , this was done useing 3 7805 regulators to supply 5 volts to the media centre , you could also use a 150 w inverter to plug in the std power supply , another way is to use a charger for a mobile ph that charges at 5 v - most do
i then orderd a ALS rgb convertor that came with the audio interface
once it was all fitted i added a wireless lan access point to give me wireless conectivity with the wireless router in the house so i can upload movies and music direct to the hdd in the media centre
im really happy with the finished job
