can u explain abit more about what computer system u have installed. example hows its running off ur car, do u have extra batteries? operating system and just the general specs. also those hard wires out of ur amp. i like those.

[hakhawk]

ok, the pc system is as follows:

Via m10000 mini itx 1ghz motherboard, onboard everything, vga, sound, lan, usb
512mb ddr sdram
8" lilliput vga touchscreen
Dlink wireless lan usb stick
GPS module
currently runs a mini 300watt ac powersupply off an inverter, sometime i will replace both with a dedicated dc powersupply.
stock vn battery

OS
Xp professional
Roadrunner front end = plays dvds and movies with mediaplayer classic, plays cds/mp3s with winamp.
destinator 3 maps with mapmonkey as front end

the hard wires for the amp, i love em, got the idea from the pioneer monaro, all they are is 4mm solid steel rod found at your local scrap steel place, i paid %1 for about 2 meters of it, then you just get to it with some steel wool and polish it, then bend it to shape.

i have probably forgot something with the pc, so just ask

oh, and sorry about spelling.

Love the dash cluster dude!!!!
Looks awesome!

The Comp and switches look at home where you put em.
Looks almost factory.
Good work!!!

[hakhawk]

thats what i was going for, nice simple factory look, thanks for the compliments.

[VKnVLCalais]

thats awesome. can u post a close up pic of how they are connected to the amp. im very interested in hooking mine up like it. And how much did the touch screen cost ya??

[hakhawk]

screen cost me around 380 from memory, that was shipped from hong kong. now the rods connect to the amp by simply slottong into the hole, and screw tightened to keep it there, these are the best pics i have of where the bars connect to the box, using spring loaded terminals, and to the amp.

sweet jesus.... i woulda gone with just putting a laptop in the car but whoah :P dosnt the pc overhead??? i mean they're wouldnt be the best air flow in that glove box...

nice work tho...VERY nice work

[hakhawk]

lol, i know what you mean, but i wanted to do it right, because its a mini-itx motherboard, its low power, so doesnt overheat too much, and i put a fan n the side to suck air out of the glovebox. dont have any pics though.
