Guys really salute with ur work. Can give a guide how to make it.

From what I've read, those laptop scanners r scanning to detect the battery of the laptop, PDA or mobile phone. So if u dont have the battery in it, they're blind.

How bout wireless? also can detect rite?
btw, great work there bro zyntherius...!!!

Thanks dude...

It should actually be quite easy to detect wireless, as long as the adapter is on. I doubt they can detect the CMOS battery, the car's alarm system also produces more electrical signals than that.

pc in a car? is it practical as there are too many sensitive hardware that will spoil anytime due to road friction? i cant imagine hdd working under a driving condition or hot weather.

have ts encounter any problem with the setup so far?

did u experience any problems when u drive the car on a rough road such as the rural road or bump onto a hole on the road?huhu...coz PC parts is damn sensitive...

Nope.. nothing at all..... especially on those yellow lines at Sunway Pyramid area there...dam those lines are tick....

At least you're not in Europe.. even bigger temperature range.

In Malaysia, only need to keep things cool and vibration dampened niah

Like i told ryudox... one year already..no problem at all.... but dun go high speed on a hump larr.... that's why i use notebook hdd... more durable

nice mood..... so creative

Thanks... dude.. it is quite easy to build oso..... anyone can build one.... it's just whteher you want to or not...anything can do one..

not only easy to build.. the wiring.. going inside the car.. show us abit how you did the wiring.. like the usb you did..

hi bro zyntherius.. nice n thumb up what u mod ur pc in ur car.. rite now i hv i pc i juz mod to pun into my car too..can u gv suggestion to me 4 better n nice look.. in my car.. 1st one.. i'm driving wira gsr, if i wanna put the mobo at the back like ur picture, is nicely place.. my problem is i want to use dvd rom pc to put at the dashboard combine with the motorize monitor at the passenger beside driver, u know wira model 2001 n laterst hv place there.. my dvd rom is use ide cable so ide cable not long enough to pull from the bonnet to the dashboard, 2nd is i use plug in sound card at pci slot bcoz builtin sound not function already, so from the jack port at the sound card the cable must go to power amp o where. i confiuse at that thing. can u advise and if u hv any best suggestion bro share with me. if u not mind can u gv ur hp number to me do contact u. can meet at 1 cool place o teh tarik stall to see ur pc mod... my number is 013-6665696 zaly.. tq.. b4 that my place is Shah alam area but i can go to puchong area ...

snap some pics man... let us see...

Ok firstly can i have a look at you pc that you've install in your car.. 2nd bout the ide cable not long enough...you can make your own actually..but you must get your hands on some connectors... 3rd about your sound card you can plug it to a pre amp 1st..like what i did..and pre amp to amps.... well i live in shah alam oso....i'll call you whenever i am free..

I think for audio cables if you get some good ones to connect from the sound card to the car's audio system it should be ok, Zyntherius should be quite experienced in this by now. However for IDE cables you can't use cables longer than 1m, in fact at that length you may have data transfer issues already. Check the ATA specification for details-google for it.

Can try USB ones oso..... but those things need power though

Ah but that is good news for b@i because power cables can be pretty long as long as the connections are sound and the cable resistance is low enough. Even cables similar to our 240V electrical wires would suffice.

Btw, USB regulation is 5m (includes length of electrical traces on circuit boards). Should not be a problem unless you own a bus and have the PC on the opposite end form the audio system
