Re: Carputer

Its kinda odd how you go from nothing to something. But after seeing this thread, and threads on other car sites I frequent I've decided to take the plunge! I now have a 7" widescreen VGA touchscreen monitor, and a Mini-ITX motherboard running at 800mhz. Its still being set up, but will be going in the car in a few weeks. Heres a pic:



I also have Wi-Fi, with GPS coming sometime this summer. It will be mounted in my airbag compartment (pass side), and the screen will be mounted to the ceiling in front of the sunroof. All running into my headunit and controled with a timed shutdown controller, and a small DC-DC 120watt power supply.

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.
