oh well look at me, look at me, lol
i thought about that but i still wanted my headunit, as im on the ps2 not a cpu, is that an 8" 4:3 touch screen?
smooth moderator
yep sure is.
works good. i wasnt fussed on a headunit, pc all the way, but i need a headunit if i want to do dbdrag competitions, unless i buy a specially bought carpc from a stereo dealer. but im over that, it goes hard and im happy

yeh thought so, how long does it take to boot-up, i go in comps accasionally, pushing 130+ single 12"Originally Posted by hakhawk

takes roughly 50 seconds from cold boot to playing music and gps loaded.
i havent been bothered to setup the software to the point that it could take as little as 10 seconds after bios bootup, so maybe 20 seconds max.

can u get radio reception, seems like an aweseom component to intergrate into a system
smooth moderator
no radio reception yet
but the guys at www.mp3car.com were making a usb fm receiver that would work in a car last time i saw. must see how they went.
thats one thing i really do want, is radio.
sure ive got like 8000 songs (not bragging i know ppl with more)
but theres times you just wanna listen to the radio.
smooth moderator
theres a lot of guys over at CAA that are getting into the carpc side of things and are integrating compatibility with existing units, digital processor audio units and all sorts.
wish i had the money to do what some of them have
CarPC[====----] 50% Comp.
yeh man we could do heaps if only we had the money, i was looking at www.mp3car.com thats where i got the idea to fab the screen into teh surround, i listen to the radio i fair bit, but got ipod interface n cd aswell
smooth moderator
yeh, i got cd/dvd in there not that i use it much.
and the software u can get (free aswell) these days has support to autoload an ipod wen it gets plugged in.
hakhawk, just a question how much do you think you spent all up getting your current system hooked up including all parts you had to buy ??
smooth moderator
for the computer itself, not including subs, amps, box. was around $1300, but that was over 18 months ago when all the components were much more expensive and not as common. could probably get out of it for under 1000 these days.

lol u amuse me, might have a new job at Northfield Car Sound soon, pretty excited, they were impressed with my install, so hope all goes well
Guys....
I wanna do the same thing to my VR....I'm quite computer orientated (have built a couple of desktops before) but perhaps you could answer a couple of questions....
How do you power it? I'm a little concerned about making sure I'm not gunna burn wires out.
How does the boot up & shutdown/hibernation work? Off ignition or manual boot/shutdown?
Do u need to run 4 channel amp for speakers? I currently have an amp running the sub, but I'm thinking of putting in 5.1ch sound card in as well....
I've got my eye on an 8" touch screen on ebay. Do u have a keyboard connected or run off monitor?
