Default How much space behind the SC400 dash? Enough for mini-ITX?

Anybody know exactly how much clearance there is behind the dash in the SC? I am thinking of replacing the stock Nakamichi radio with this mini-ITX case, but it requires 210mm (and presumably some more room for ventilation -- wonder how hot it gets back there).

There's also a nano-ITX case, so maybe that will fit if the mini-ITX won't. Thanks!

I assume you've been over to www.mp3car.com ? I don't know if anyone there would be able to tell you exactly either, but I know there's a few Lexus's over there that have put carputers in. Great site.

Yup I read about the cases on mp3car.com, but hoping the people here might know the details on Lexus SC stereo size. The CarPC setups here mostly stick the motherboard in the glove compartment or somewhere else in the interior, not behind the dash like I'm hoping to do.

I have an '00 GS400 that I'm currently putting a computer in to. I've already had my case built from my install in my old Legend, so I'm sticking with the trunk. Post some pics up when you get things installed so I can take a look. I'll do the same.
