Kaytrim:
I am very interested in just the PC with monitor. See if the power supply is removable and can be reconnected to the PC. If the pc works without the batteries then they and the cart could be recycled. The next questions would be if the CF card could be removed and a normal HDD put in it's place with TinyXP installed. If that all works then it is definitely viable for a juke. I am also curious if the RAM can be upgraded, 256MB is minimum for XP.
Have fun with your new toy and let us know how it works out.

I would also see the cart as being unnecessary. If it can be shipped w/o the cart, I would most definitely be interested.

Of course the batteries can be optional. Odds are they are 12volts, and the pc and monitor are drawing anywhere from 1-2 amps. A laptop ac adapter will most likely supply enough juice. You just hack the end of the PS cable, and hard wire it into the system.

All you'd need is the pinout for the power connector, and I'm sure something could be hacked together. I'd definitely be interested in one, especially if the ram was upgradeable (but I'm going to guess no, but you never know).

After further study of this thing, I believe the following would probably be the best way to make a juke out of one:
1. Get a CF to IDE adapter, and connect to primary IDE.
2. Insert a 2-4GB CF Card.
3. Use external USB CD-ROM Drive to install Windows/Linux on the CF.
4. Set up networking on the thing with either the onboard LAN or a wireless PCMCIA Card
5. Use this computer as a terminal to a music server elsewhere in your house.
Because of the size, there is no way of getting a standard 3.5" HDD in there, and a 2.5" laptop drive might work, but its still pretty cramped in there. Also, remember that this thing has no internal fans, so something other than a SSD would heat things up a lot.
