Re: Carputer
I've been meaning to do something like this. I don't seem to have the money to ever get into a project like this and there's usually some other kind of computer-y thing I'm trying to build. I thought it would be interesting to get an old laptop with a large hard drive and an 802.11b/g antenna. Then when parked, it would find new MP3s on specified SMB shares. Problem is that I don't know how quickly it would drain the car battery. Also, OEM sound (especially on laptops) are HORRID...but then again, so is the clarity on MP3s. Maybe I'll make the VorbisCar 
It'd be fun to go wardriving with an mp3 player and just download all the music on open shares
