I would not in-dash-mount a computer, as you arel likely to replace it
from time to time. Plus, you might like it to be portable sometimes.



Hi Chris;
I see two advantages of a VIA solution for onboard PC over a laptop;
power consumption and fanless, so the motherboard can be isolated from
the marine environment.
