I just heard about a MP3 player with a actual hard drive for a car. They are selling them at the local car audio shop. Not sure what kind of drive it is though. Might be a idea to stash it in the trunk and run long wires (wouldn't be to long as that is a short car). I don't see to many mobo's that your going to get under the dash of one of them things, let alone it being in somekind of housing. Intersting ides. I seen some pics of some ultra small mobo's before. I can't remember the brand though. ECS makes that Duron XP 1200 BS that is a Duron 850@890. The CPU is soldered on and I belive it has all the onboard BS, but if you want decent sound your not going to want onboard audio. I tried pluging in the output of a Sound card into a car audio amp once and it was not a good thing. You might want to play with that first before you decide to actually start hacking stuff up.
