[QUOTE="Homebrew, post: 3792910, member: 32041"] Here's pics of my carputer project I've been trying to get completed before Saturday's meet. It's now in though there are some issues left to sort out, but that will have to wait till after saturday. Still need to wire up the gps before then. The system completely replaces the factory head unit and consists of a via epia MII mini-itx motherboard with 512 megs or ram, an 80 gig notebook harddrive and it's all controlled through a 7" touchscreen monitor. I'm still waiting on a specific USB radio board to release so I can get radio channels. I also need to find a location for the slimline dvd-rw drive. I wasn't able to fit it in the dash, so my original idea was to put it in the console compartment, but it's not fitting in there either without some modification. So right now for that my options are to modify the console compart so it fits, mount the drive in the glovebox, or *gasp* under a seat. The computer provides access to my entire 20+ gig music collection, stored movies, gps, radio(to come), cell phone control(not for me though, stupid nextel), and much more. It runs windows xp, so anything you can do on a normal computer, you can do on this. Things haven't gone as smoothly as planned, paint didn't match correctly, chipped a spot out of the paint, damaged the bezel around the a/c controls(nice story), have a nasty pop on turn on(not uncommon, need to delay the amps turning on), and some powerup issues. I am hopefull that these will be sorted out and the system will be all I dreamed it would though. Without further delay, here are some pics, since we all know this thread is worthless without pics. -Kevin [IMG]http://home.comcast.net/~homebrewracing/touchscreen1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://home.comcast.net/~homebrewracing/touchscreen2.jpg [/IMG] Main Menu [IMG]http://home.comcast.net/~homebrewracing/Main_menu.jpg[/IMG] GPS [IMG]http://home.comcast.net/~homebrewracing/Nav.jpg [/IMG] [/QUOTE]
