justinwebb Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 so i was bored recently waiting on all my goodies i ordered to come in so i decided to update the carputer...some of you older members remember my last one ....custom molded a touchscreen monitor into the double din spot to make it look completely stock...then fabbed up an entire pc to fit inside a cd changer case i have about 10,000 songs on it and about 3,000 music videos it has WIFI and GPS and will do pretty much anything a regular PC will do...it worked ok but there is always room for improvement...... the old setup http://home.columbus.rr.com/shweetmobile/DSC00942.JPG http://home.columbus.rr.com/shweetmobile/DSC00944.JPG http://home.columbus.rr.com/shweetmobile/DSC00945.JPG this time around got a new faster motherboard, better RAM, and a much better power supply and i am trying to fit things in the small case a little differently here is the beginnings of it but its still a work in progress still gotta mount the hard drive and run some wires http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01673.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01674.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01676.jpg threw the front plate on http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01678.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01680.jpg the back of the pc and a shot of the fan setup with one blowing in and one as an exhaust http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01683.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w264/justinwebb24/Carputer/DSC01685.jpg all that is left is to mount the hard drive which is tough to do so it cant move at all then mount it in the trunk and she is ready to go again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
