Anyone ever done this in the Zed? My biggest issue is going to be figuring out where to put the monitors (or just the 1!)

Where do people think?
i have only seen 1 ZS with a carputer (think he is a member on here)


there are a number of ways you can build one....you can use an old pc motherboard, prebuilt systems or build one from scratch...i opted to build my own to my own specification

if you are using a PC motherboard, it will be more power hungry (cpu) then a mini ITX motherboard, unless you get a decent power supply

best place to look in www.digital-car.co.uk , excellent forum, lots of help available and if i can help you with anything give me a shout

good place for supplies is www.linitx.com and for cabling www.kenable.co.uk
