i think here got ppl doing carputer, rite?Is that using normal PSU and mainboard then connect to 12v to 220v inverter?Add on one monitor and harddisk then can use liao ,rite?I'm not thinking to buy touch screen monitor bcos it is so expensive.I can use small mouse and small flexible keyboard.Furthermore i can add one DVD-Writer to do burning or movie watching.But i think it will cause me about RM1500 for cheapest AMD processor bcos there is not need pay for high end system.I now current have one P4 Pres-hot,but i dunwan put in car bcos it create alot of heat,later air-cond cannot cold.Furthermore,it consumew more power.

Coconut,mind to let me know where u live?Can i pay u a visit?Can i taste the smell of new car?haahhah

yup is go find u,or u can pm me ur house add

the stock cd player cannot add amp,bcos no RCA output

now i'm thinking to do carputer,if i buy AMD set plus normal car monitor(my dad remove from car one) so i need mouse and keyboard.It is seem like pc in car .But wat i dun like is i need use mouse and the monitor is at the roof,so diificult to see.Then if i buy a AMD sempron,may be it create more heat.Anyone here know about the heat create by AMD Sempron?If i got the LCD monitor with touch screen and fit at the stock cd player place so it become like luxury car wif monitor,it become so hi-tech,Hilux got car-puter

hey y ur tint so expensive?mine only RM480

oh,that one that wif protection of knocking?glass broken proof?wah,if i know about i also want that ler

I had search the mainboard that suitable for me,but i can't the correct one,i can only put the mainboard under the seat,so i need connect power cable from psu and the cd-rom from the left site upper compartment.It seem long wire to be connected.That is impossible to find one mainboard that can be fiited in the lower storage compartment.So i think putting under seat is the best choice,but which system to choose?AMD?Intel?I got one set P4 2.6C 800Mhz,my MSI board kong liao i think so may be i will take the processor use as my system,But dunno it will so hot or not ler.I can also consider AMD Atlon 64 socket 754,it really create low heat,CPU idle temp only 35C.

haha,i forget about the power comsumption,i think Intel Celeron should be the correct choice,bcos i think it will create less heat compare to AMD.


one thing that it really restrict me to bulid car-puter is the graphic card,i must buy one Gc bcos i need the AV out to monitor,so the GC will be so high until i can't fit in under the seat,if i buy mainboard wif built-in GC,i will not have TV output so monitor cannot display.Wat to do ler??????????The only place which is very spacious is only under seat but the height is not enough ler,only 3 inch high but my GC is 5 inch.
May be this time tak jadi liao,luckily i not desparate to buy the mainboard,processor and RAM.

jeremy0 now u have ur car-puter?Do u think got other place to place the mainboard?Now i have no idea where to put the mainboard.Seem like Hilux lack of space.

got update for me,i found the small GC that can fit under my front left passenger seat.Got the smallest mainboard form Foxconn only RM160 then put in Intel Celeron ,Sapphire 9250 GC,512 RAM.

Very happy got such system,later go buy liao but my monitor haven't arrive ler.

i got my intel celeron today wif foxconn mainboard,512 RAM,Ati 9250 GC, WD 80G HDD,DVD ROM. I'm to put main board,HDD,DVD ROM under seat then PSU put at left side of the aircon blower there,actually i wan put DVD ROM inside the centre console box but i dunwan potong the hole,it is still new car,i sayang to drill hole.Intel Celeron idle temp is 39C,is quite high also bcos it is using stock HSF.I'm waiting my monitor from hometown,it is remove from my dad car,it should be a AV input not VGA,that y i buy the cheapest and smallest GC that got PS@ head that can convert to AV output.Once i get my monitor i will post up the pic.Now my problem is how to connect my carputer speaker to my car speaker,i ask one accessories shop ppl,they say can use hi -to -lo converter to make the speaker output from stock HU to RCA ouput so i can use both HU and carputer in car speaker,just use pre-amp that got 2 input.Now wat i can do is use cheap speaker or earphone to listen buit no display.

very sad to day.A lots of thing happen to me today.First,then mainboard burn after i install all thing under the seat.So i go the shop then just exchange.then i fix it in again,then i feel like very scary when i put in the mainboard again,then i think for a while,if the mainboard or power supply burn up or short circuit with the carpet then my Hilux gone liaolo.I scare this bcos i just put the mainboard without putting isolator under the mainboard.My system dun hav casing also.By then the PSU is so hot and there is not much air flow under the seat.So i remove all of it liao.Waste my time fixing it,next week got examinaton,i still no study at all,and still thinking for CAR-PUTER,Haih.I had spended about RM1K for the system and ends up with nothing.I hope after my exam,when holiday can do casing for it and put anywhere else.

I got see one mainboard with VIA chipset,it comes wif VIA processor,it is really small in size about 5x8 inch,cost only 2xx.If my monitor is VGA input,i sure buy that one.It dun hav AGP slot ler.But it's processor cool by small fan only.Very tiny mainboard,it is for basic user only.

i got the pic of the smallest VIA mainboard,with built-in processor.

then my Intel Celeron system but i remove all the thing already bcos i scare short-circuit and cause to fire.Very sad,buy then install then remove.I think i will install it again once i get the casing,of course the casing is no longer put under seat,may be put around the rear seat.

i will continue building car-puter after my exam,now not enough time study liao,always play no study,haih.....

Coconut did u want to do car-puter project?Hilux is use by urself or ur dad?

Today really disapppoint me,the monitor cannot display clearly bcos it is AV input,so the output of the GC is not good in quality also. Then my 220v inverter is really hot when operating (about 70C,can burn ur hand),the PSU also very hot,i just on for not more than 30 minutes.So,may be my system will no longer at car liao,may be convert to destop.Will try VIA built-in processor mainbaord with touch screen monitor.
Jeremy0,i think u know where to get touch screen monitor ,rite?How much is that?

just now i ask accessories shop for 8" VGA monitor (no touch screen),the price is RM6xx,from China.Dunno reliable or not.Now study for exam,i still miss my car-puter.WTH,car-puter ,car-puter,car-puter.....still car-puter,but no study

then about the VIA built-in mainboard is about RM 230,wuite reasonable,but scare cannot run dvd,winamp and others high-end program...
