This review definitly proves our community here won't be spoiled by new people who enjoy flame wars and such, so there is one benefit from this.

So far, the response section has gotten a few replies about either the CD MP3 players, or the new do it yourself one in Maximum Linux (/me runs off to a friends cube to grab the issue). I have to say it's one of the nicer setups for do it yourself ones, but they definitly have an MP3 in the car additude instead of high quality music and lots of it. They recommend any cheap sound card, and don't completly advise against an AC-DC power converter. They really didn't help too much on the in-dash control side, and they still don't beat the ease of use/upgradibility/varity of uses the empeg has. I still can't seen hauling a PC in and out of the house to have to deal with several cable connections frequently. A laptop may be a better step to get music onto it, but is still a pain. Also, they didn't look at future upgradibility, or hard drive protection either.
