Um.  Wouldn't this setup be a tad bit expensive?  :)

Say you went with a PC/104-based setup.  At around $300 a PC/104 card,
this is a $1500+ setup (1 CPU card, 1 BIOS/ports card, 1 GPS card, 1
sound
card, 1 video card).  That doesn't include the camera, the guns, the
soft-
ware and the cell phone bills.  And that's for just ONE unit (and I hear
playing with yourself isn't so fun in these situations).

Not to nay-say it; it'd probably be pretty cool.  Just a bit out of my
reach.  ;)
