Ok, here goes some more questions for my trunk, :D

First off, will I be able to use a cpu case fan in my car as an amp cooling fan? Will I need to do anything fancy for it to work?

Second. Will I be able to rig this up for my two amp compartments. I am not totally sure how it even detects the harddrive temperature, so how would I go about it detecing the amps temperature?

Third. What type of leds does this kind of switch panel incorporate? Is there an led that is made for a car that is voltage specific, or will I need an invertor.

heh i have a sematic at home on how to use Computer cooling fans in a automotive application, and also have them come on at a certain temp :)

Also the temperature guage thingy uses i think K-type probes, All it needs is to be in the area or on the surface of what you want to know the Temp of.. My Multimeter has the same probe (but had options of Air, Water, Surface, and a few other)

Blue LEDs?? Ahh like a 220Ohm resister or something, and your set :) I'm waiting for the shops here in the lowermainland to start selling purple ones :) :) and there is a manufacture that makes them.. and only at $1/ea (Heh if you buy like maybe 10,000+ :) )
