Shafz is on a distinguished road

gathered the bits over time

this is mine that i started this weekend
Quote:
Building my nice new CarPC
Nice double din sized touch screen

specs for those interested

Intel atom d945gclf2 mini itx mobo
m2-atx
160gb hd
2gb DDR2 Ram
Windows 7 64bit
centrafuse 2 front end
Voom case
Double Din liliput touch screen (bezel need some work doing to it)
gps receiver,camera, wireless etc
oh an I can use 3g net by tethering it of my iPhone
will have the same goodies as i did in the Red rover http://www.themgzr.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=71775




Today i managed to get it all crammed in the case
The case acts like a big heatsink




and a Hovis shot for people



and a Heinz beans one too to show the height of the case


Then i moved on to stripping the Dash down. Nice double Din space



I then modified the Double Din frame to fit inside the space. That was as far i got on that front. i need to do some filling and sanding so i left that for today


i then moved onto giving the PC a Home in the boot. I opted to use the spare wheel well foam as its out of site + the foam will act as a shock absorber

Foam Before


and after some cutting the pc fits in perfectly



i did have to trim some more to accommodate the ports


Since i want to control volume through my standard headunit, i had to relocate it.This will be going into theglove box
After some cuts/bruises/swearing..i managed to get the wiring loom free so its enough to plug into the headunit in the glovebox



car as iv left it for today






i love the fact we have more daylight
roll on modding days!

im hoping to have this all in fairly soon!

comments welcome
