Josh, Could you also point me to the correct part numbers for the the RAM, Video Board, Bluetooth sub adapter and what ever else I need to get this up and running? Sorry,, I just don't want to order all this stuff without knowing for sure if I am getting the right combination of parts. I'm very much a newbie when it comes to this kind of computer hardware and will definitely need help getting it set up and working with the EZ-B. I know you are very busy so take your time getting a reply back to me. I very much appreciate all the help

How will I hook it to a monitor? I assume keyboard and mouse will need to be Bluetooth?

Go! I thought the connection to the mini itx ez-b was made with a cable, I never imagined that was done with a Bluetooth adapter, while the computer and ez-b within the robot. Is not there a way to connect with a cable? Does anyone know the answer?

I seem to remember Nieks omnibot project used a cable adapter from sparkfun instead of the Bluetooth piece. I know it can be done. I just don't remember the specifics of it.

Been doing a little homework based on Josh's recommendations and here is the link list of parts.

Josh when you get time please double check me on these parts. Also, I'm not sure yet about the power supply. The motherboard says 1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector(s) & 1 x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector(s)

The power supply says it "Fits any motherboard equipped with a 24pin ATX connector."

Is 160W enough?

Everything looks good except the hard drive. You selected a 2.5 inch and that is a size and style a laptop uses. You want the 3.5 inch desktop version. I searched new egg and they were out of stock on all 3.5 inch so just grab a regular one. Its only going to make about 20 seconds difference on initial boot up but after it loads everything is in your ram while running. Yes 160 watt power supply is enough.
