Carputer

Post by **Mill3niumThr33** » Dec Fri 08, 2006 9:18 pm

I got the system in about 4 days ago and have been tinkering with it. Overclocking isnt the greatest but I didnt buy it for that. Im starting to learn linux but its a big change for me and im not very good with command line stuff. Next up is a touchscreen, power inverter, mini keyboard, wireless mouse, wireless card. Things im thinking of getting are a pci sound card, navi antenna, graphics card, and long range wireless antenna.

Sounds sweet, one of my friends here has/had one in his civic, but some lady rear ended him and it damaged it.
I thought the screens were around $1k...

screens vary but the most common one on mp3car.com is a 7" touchscreen that goes for 250.

That would be so cool, I'd like to do that. could I use the guts from one of my computers, I'd like to pics of the final project.

Whatever happened with this carputer build?
My Alpine indash touchscreen media player gets here friday and I am going to build a carputer for it. Just wondering how yours turned out? Love linux but going to roll with Media Center on this one so I can do all my music, movies etc.

Got any pix of your install? Where did you mount your mobo? Did you use an inverter for your power supply?
