acer aspire revo as a car pc

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883103228

looks pretty good.

i honestly dont think i can build a pc any cheaper than that. or is this overkill?

what do you guys think?

its going in a 1999 tl.

also looking for a cheap liliput screen.

Worst case you might need to add some shock absorption if you have issues. But it looks like it has some decent reviews..

a ssd drive would be perfect for the car, too bad they are still way too pricey.

so def need shock absorbers to cushion the harddrive from your aggressive driving haha

Looks good and compact. You should get it.

Remember to write up a DIY when you put it in .

me either. I was thinking maybe i could get the GPS bezel and put the screen behind it as if it were the stock GPS. have you weighed the option?

found a really nice site for carputer pieces..
thinking about grabbing this for the screen..
http://cartft.com/catalog/il/1110

and then the doubleDIN offered from a vendor on this site if i choose to replace the stock system.

i want it to look as stock as possible, but im fairly certain im going to be replacing the stock radio.

what front end are you thinking about running?
