Here are a couple links to what I was talking about. Notice also how easy these can be hooked up to video cameras for recording:

I did some research. I think for the money, this is the thing to go with:
http://www.e-itx.com/aero-lf-car-pc-system.htmlIt's got "solid state" hard drive, so no worries about vibration damage. We should mount it with the MSD-style rubber feet.
I think I am going to go ahead and order or build one of these, and I'll let you know how it works out! there's a possibility we can use the parallel port inputs to do more datalogging outside of the megasquirt also...
........Just thinking out loud here, you could run a number of tiny video cameras off this same computer as well as the megasquirt datalogging...
it's got 6 USB ports. cheap web cams, or slightly more expensive units of better video quality could be run right into the USB inputs.
See if you think the case dimensions are small enough for your lakester?

If these would work for data logging the megasquirt, plus other inputs, plus cameras for the money they might really be a good deal and they are set up for a car environment.
