That's the risk we have to take...but so far nothing hope luck doesn't change.... but you can always mount it firmly...give them thiefs the idea that it is bolted on ..they won't waste time on it..

wow.. i'm totally impressed by your work. This is really Pc modding + pimp your car. you got all my respect dude. Wonderful work.
Wanna ask, how much it cost u to do everything like tat?

Thanks dude... , Less than 1 k I think..... some parts i have it laying around in my room... as for the acrylic i got it from a sign board that was thorn down nearby my office..ehehhe

damn nice dude .. what speaker did u connect to ur pc?

wow, seriously damn cool. If you can pls put up a guide. I am sure many here are interested to do the same thing.

Bravo

The onboard soundcard is connected to my pre amp....i use Sony speakers.. which i can't remember the model.... some unknown brand of amplifier to power my Front and Rear Sony speakers

Hey dude, nice setup. Fun for long drives. A suggestion though, you might want to suspend the hard drives as heavy vibration kills the HD.

dude, thats awesome =)
but hor, isnt it the same if u can put a notebook in ur car =)
somemore its a fully complete set, keyboard included... wifi included
somemore its portable, u dont have to leave it in ur car to prevent from losing.
didnt mean to say urs is bad..... im truly impressed with ur work bro

Well that's why it is called Car PC...ehehhehe.. thanks.... but if a notebook used in the car...meaning less accessibility and if emergency brake sure fall one....i won't sacrifice my notebook to that extend..... yeah thats a risk we have to take.... but usually thiefs won't have the idea that we have a pc in our car unless if they monitor us from the beginning....

no le, i heard they got tools to know whether u have anythin electronic or so in the trunk but i must say that this for Enthusiast ppl and not what's better. it's the satisfaction of achieving it. once again, tumbs on this project.

i'm just wondering where to fit the lcd and how bout wifi? got antenna?

ohh i get what you mean... depends on the car oso if you wan to mount the lcd....mine is indash.... currently using USB wireless card ...but all component u saw in the pix...gonna be upgraded soon....thinking of scrapping the onboard soundcard and buy creative audigy ... sound quality better...

Cool, thought of it myself but never got around to even putting it on paper. Gotta try it when I've got free time (which I don't know when that will be). Thinking perhaps can hack a PSU to directly regulate power from the car's 12v supply? Can then get rid of the inverter for better power efficiency. A single core A64 or sempron would be great for this setup, very low power consumption, possibly 50-70W for the whole system with the PSU efficiency factored in.

Alternatively can get a IDE card reader and pop in some flash memory. Completely vibration/shock proof

wala0 wehhh, never tot got ppl mod pc to fit into car lehh
nice effort there

ps: izzit wira? tot it was GTi

Yes dude its a Wira Sedan...

Added on March 8, 2007, 1:16 pmyeah i was told by Sniper On The Roof that AMD less power consumtion... i dun think you can wire your PSU directly to your batt..if you manage to do it..mind sharing with me... Once you built a car pc for your self..you can post it here also...this thread welcomes all car pc owners too
