Just to share my carpc ... I have a carpc in my hyundai avante for about 3 years now. Recently I have upgraded to a ATOM chipset (from the old VIA mini-itx board) Showing some pics I took during the install. Testrunning the setup at home desk The carpc with its mini-itx ATOM board Fitting the VGA touchscreen Fitment to the console Mess of wires PC mounted below driver seat Amp mounted below passenger seat First mounted and boot to Windows My frontend A full screen mtv Integrated Garmin Coming upgrades: - starhub mobile broadband, can watch ppstream incar liao - OBDII install (Avante uses CAN-bus) - USB DVB-T and DAB - Bluetooth handsfree Some people might ask... why put a PC in the car? - HDDs can put many many GBs worth of serials/songs blah blah .. literally tons.. - Big screen GPS - Price.. it costs much less than the SONYs or Alpine double dins, yet performs as good. (Total setup less than SGD 1k) - Outperform those yucky china double dins by alot - I'm geeky and loved the curious look from frens exclaiming ... "You have a Windows in your car!!" To get this setup running, there's lots of details. Feel free to ask me questions. Can email me at [email protected] I have also started a carpc build thread in sgsoundsytem for those whom are interested. http://www.sgsoundsystem.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25519 Cheers, Danny
