The beginning of a carputer

[justinwebb]

well today i finally finsished a 3 week long project of cutting into a screen, lots of bondo, sanding, sanding, and yea u guessed it sanding.....but finally the finshed product.....a 7" touchscreen mounted in my dash and all in all looks pretty damn good almost stock....... and as for the mobo and stuff it easily fit into a 12 disc cd changer which will be mounted in my trunk......

the specs of my carputer

1.3 GHZ Processor
1 GB DDR2 RAM
160W smart power supply
WIFI USB adapter
250 GB HDD
CDRW/DVD drive
TV Tuner

more pics of it installed just waiting on a 16' USB and VGA cable so i can mount the cd changer in the trunk.....i have a nice honda dash for the carputer it will do MP3's, movies, GPS, games, and a s**t ton more

[Tap it]

holy s**t...
i think you might need to get a patent.

[ShinsenTuner]

good stuff. what front end are you going to use?


My carputer setup wont even BEGIN to start until about sometime next year. I have no funds for it.

frodoplayer and possible also centrafuse........it has been in the making for a while and finally put it all together i can't wait to install itand get it up and running

 

[Shiznit]

be weary of it during hot days as your carputer will have a tendency to over heat.

you must have used a mATX motherboard right?

on the craftsmanship.....

 

[justinwebb]

i tested it running all night in the cd changer case under a thick blanket and by morning it was only slighly warm to the touch........ the mobo used 13 watts of electricty so it doesn't run hot at all.....and with 2 huge fans it cools nicely....thx for all the comments guys pics of it installed will be coming soon

im just talking about during summer when the trunk of a car gets upwards of 140 degrees

 

[Slept-n]

[justinwebb]

its all touchscreen and i have a wireless keyboard and i have a plan for the summer

and it didn't take that long now that we know what we are doing so i could make one if needed and we eve n talked about selling them

 

[j_fukin_t]

[clifford_05]

[wsbu99ex]

holy s**t dude seriously if you start selling that s**t i would be all over that

it looks f**kin sick man
nice work

 

[postal21]

Yeah mounting a mini-ATX board inside a cd-changer case is a great DIY idea.

Shiznit is right about the heat though... im pretty sure under-load in the summer that case is going to get f**king HOT... Maximizing the CPU cooling in such a small area might be difficult. Water cooling?

 

[ChoNNe]
