[Andyf]

Very impressive mate, wish I could do stuff like that!

[sarah]

[Maxfly]

top work there, looking mighty fine:bandana:

[stamford]

Now i'm jealous, you seem to have a better pc in car than my girls home ones! I have two dead pc's here, can't do a damned thing with them. Also have a knackered laptop, power supply to laptop is dead somewhere inside the rear. I have no luck with em!

[dave87]

been wanting to do this to my car for a while but couldnt work out where i would hide the computer. Nice idea using the arm-rest

[Mat C]

That one in the ZS looks awesome !

[grimmy]

looks amazing that, but i can't stop thinking that the keyboard reminds me of a spectrum

[Craig]

fantastic!

[Witnes$]

Looks awsome!! I want something like that.

LOL, looks like the 48k. I had a 128k... Kapow!!

[Mat C]

Can i ask though, and i'm not being funny - but what exactly is the point of installing a PC in your car ? Do you work out your annual accounts at the traffic lights ? Are you writing a novel and need a keyboard everywhere you go ? I have to say, the ZS one looks really stealthy and i get the point of it - media format flexibilty. But this one looks to serve only one purpose - a theft target !

thanks for the comment, a bit different from usual lol

Well main part of the project was to do something different...how many people do you see with a setup like this?

Also the keyboard is only dislayed there for photographic purposes. when its not in use everything is hidden away.

Also how many headunit that you know for around the £180 mark that has:

*mp3 player
*media player (dvd/vcd/flv
*DVD rewriter
*satnav
*large capacity HD (no need for CD's)
*FM Radio
*attach phone
*internet anywhere
*wireless dongle
*bluetooth dongle
*Reserve Camera

:mml: :cigar:

I'm having a wild guess here as I think it may be something to do with walking a dog, videoing it, uploading it onto dog walking websites etc? :whistle:

I think Stan Collymore has one too ;)

Shafz will end up filming Sammy in the woods with his ZS!!!!!!! :w00t:

[talkingcars]

I'm in the process of installing one as part of my maestro tubby build, one of my aims is to have foward and rear facing cameras which I will be able to use for "in-motion" video or photogaraphy.

I am also planing on installing a "mega" fuel and ignition control system which I will be able to tune through the PC.

In answer to Mat C - most in car PC's are aimed towards multi-media/gaming/surfing/sat-nav rather than office functions, if you can why not?

Looks good. Like the one that has been installed in the ZS!

[skyblueads]
