But the Mac Mini would be the better choice
Why?

@Christopher: Apart from playing iTunes,what do you want this carputer to do?

You could TOTALLY make a serial adapter and hack an old 68k Mac to readout engine stats on an LCD mounted in the dash. That would be SO COOL. If these are normal serial signals, heck you could do it in RealBasic.
They're not.

That said, it's not that difficult. Heck you can read them with a Gameboy :D
