how the hell are you gonna expect a desktop PC to stand up to the harsh enviroment of a car? on hot days it will over heat and on cold days itll freeze. desktops, or laptops arent made to be inside a car. ill praise you if that thing lasts more than 6 months.
...........and dont tell me im wrong because ive tried this twice with my last car (thank god i was useing shitty computers) and i just kept on ruining them because of the harsh enviromenty that my car went thru every day. ....but then again if you want to ruin a perfectly good computer thats up to you.

I have buit many vehicle car computers, all specced out the same.


and how the hell do I expect it to last? because it does, and just becuase you kept ruining shit does not mean I did, your not wrong, you just used the wrong components or fucked something up

ZING!

Looks sick, and as long as its functional... at least you didn't drill into a perfect dash, then you would regret it. Glad to see YOU enjoy how it came out on YOUR car.... :up:

Hey, I was thinking you should add a keyboard and mouse PS/2 port upfront, near the ebrake handle.

Or USB... then you could plug in anything.

[PeaveyBassist]

why not get wireless keyboard and mouse? :)
