Whoa! That's pretty crazy. Touch screen or do you have some sort of wireless mouse with a built in mouse pad in the arm rest? :p

I'm intrested in seeing the final product. That's awesome.

It's an 8" touchscreen.

Ok, figured. That's going to look nice.

What are you doing for audio though? With no head unit, I'm not sure how exactly your going to go about that because of power and all that. So what are you going to do for that? Just run everything from the amp, and just play from the comp?

My head unit is getting replaced by the computer. I'm going to run it through the amps.

Thought so, good deal. It's late, I tend to ask dumb questions about this time. :sleeping:

Good luck with the rest of the project, I can't wait to see the final product.

I couldn't bring myself to not having theater wide. Though I very seldomly watch a movie so it would have been nice to have the bigger screen area.

Dirt did you go with the EPIA or NANO. I'm thinking of doing a NANO upgrade but am not cramped for space yet. Everything fit nicely under the pass seat. BTW Creative CIMR Ir remote controls are like $13 off Ebay, Girder them to anything I'm happy with mine unless the sun nails the IR eye.

BTW there is a remote command to make that monitor auto power on if it doesn't do it automaticlly, I can dig it up if you'd like. It's looking good to me!

I have the M2 but I haven't used it yet. For some reason when the computer is booting up it says there is no HD connected. The HD is friggin hot for some reason.
