Mr. Jones Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Kudos to you sir. That is quite simply the slickest homebrew ive seen yet. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 looks cool my friend had one he built in a 3 series. Only problems he had was heat on hot summer s days the system was flaky unit the call cooled down a bit. Are you going to put a dvd drive in it???

justinwebb Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 yea i have 2 80 mm fans 1 to blow over the processor and 1 to suck out heat behind the HDD...it doesn't get that hot at all ran it all night in the case and it was barely even warm to the touch...but i guess that is why the mobo only uses 13 watts and i will only have the dvd drive hooked up when i need it to save spave and power on the power supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I've been thinking about putting one in the vette for about a year now. Funds just don't allow it right now though, since go-fast mods override tunes. Check out http://www.mp3car.com for a TON of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 have you thought about adding a wireles mouse or keyboard to the mix that way it will free up having to key the keyboard and mouse in the trunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 yea i have a wireless mouse and keyboard i just didn't have any batteries for it so i had to use the one off my other computer.....but its a touchscreen so there is really no need for a mouse or keyboard but if i do need it is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I would like to see this in person. It is something I want, but in another car I haven't bought yet. I saw a carputer at SEMA last year and it was very interesting. Nice work and congrats on thinking outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
