Carputer
Hey guys I'm thinking about doing a carputer, I was just wondering if anyone had any good info on then links and such. Also for sound I was going to try and setup a 5.1 system, but I was wondering what would be entailed in such a system and I keep coming up with a lack of information, such as what type of sound card with what output would be needed to connect to the speakers, I assume some amp/receiver would be needed too . . . any input would be great . . . thanks guys

mine is complete... just tweaking some stuff...
i have my carputer configured to play mp3's, dvd's, divx, obdII reader, and navigation.
no pics at the moment because my car is in the body shop.
we should have another md/va/dc meet.

i have a 7" touchscreen lcd, via epia tc10000 motherboard/processor, 256 meg ddr RAM, 20 gig laptop hard drive, slim slot load dvd drive, mini keyboard and mouse, usb gps, serial obdII reader, and i have it running through the AUX of an aftermarket headunit in my glove compartment.
i took the stock headunit out and made a custom faceplate for the lcd to fit and look stock.

i put the cpu behind the monitor the space where the stock headunit goes is pretty big once you empty it out but im thinking about building a custom case and mounting it under the passenger seat.
pics are coming soon.
my car is in the shop. i hit a guardrail a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry to hear that about your car.
Isn't there a AM/FM signal card that can plug into the computer to pick local radio stations?
I nearly tore my bumper off yesterday from backing out of a spot in my office's garage. The right side of the bumper caught on one of the concrete supports. It wasn't as bad as the sound it made, but I will ultimately need to get it repainted...maybe the side fender, too.

car antennae's are far better for reception.

^you still run everything on the Dell? I'm thinking about building a mini computer and sticking it under the driver's seat or in truck where the ski pass-through is located. I've been researching and thinking about it for about 8-9 months now.
Is your Carputer still working ok?
