wow the jealousy just popped up like a mofo! those switch panels are really nice looking. thats a really good idea to put usb ports and av jacks in the coin holder slots.

no i dont have giant hands, its acutally that small. 17cm x 17cm

the plan is to get the whole computer running by mid winter on the workbench and work out all the kinks and increase boot time.

i got a front end (menu screen) off a forum that i edited a little to fit my needs and taste

what are you going to use as a case?

 

[Dan95-5.0]

ampie style case. fits everything, very tight tho, inside

oh ya, i almost foregot

i will still be using the mach460 with this. supposed to sound a lot better then stock

ive been debating on how to do it IF i do it

i think if i do ill get a motorized flip out screen and move my alpine HU to the bottom slot and run all the audio through that since it has RCA inputs. that way i dont have to worry about the amp/sound BS and stuff


btw what are the specs on that comp?

 

[BlackVert]

a guy i work with has an audi a8 with a flip out screen like that. it is one of the coolest things i have ever seen. i want one bad

let us know how it comes out

How do you keep your FM radio? Casue if you take the radio out to put the screen in I dont know how you still have it. Unless the screen has and FM tuner.

i would rather run a 7" mounted flat screen then a motorized single din. the 7" screen will take up both (double din) slots. it will look alot cleaner. plus a 7" lcd touch screen can be bought for a lot more cheaper.

specs on the motherboard is VIA EPIA M10000. here's a link so i dont take up alot of room. http://www.mini-box.com/VIA-EPIA-M10000-Mainboard?category=99

i will lose the radio tuner complete in my setup. with a 60 gig hard drive, the amount of mp3's i will have will be enough. and if i dont have it, i'll just download it right on the spot. after a while i will get what they call a HQCT. its the best radio tuner available so far

[cbarr300]

UPDATE:

picked up a harddrive 80gig, IDE laptop adapter, 512 RAM, 7" touchscreen, and a newer style radio bezel.

all i'm missing now is a case, powersupply, and a slot load dvd. i'm a really cheap bastard on this project so i'm just waiting till i find this stuff for cheap on ebay or in some forums.

in a few weeks i'm going to fiberglass the the screen into the bezel.

Hey Dan95-5.0, I still have got to see that car of yours sometime.. I would like to see the end results of a screen and computer, I myself wanted to do that one day
