drew028 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thats a easy one.. why do guys do anything?? For the ladies of course lol but no ive always wanted to put a computer in my car and the gs was perfect for it because of the layout.The glove box also was perfect too because of where the cd changer was. The motherboard mounted perfectly with room for the hard drive and a dvd drive that im thinking of adding. I have lots of music and movies and i was tired of doing cds and dvds a computer was the best way for me to go. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it boot up when you turn the car on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew028 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sorry no pics of me doing it and yes it has a smart power supply. You can adjust the settings on how it starts up and shuts down. Mines turns on after 5 seconds of seeing ignition and shuts down 3mins after the cars turned off. There is also a program the im going to use that runs over windows. You can design or own "skin" to how ever you like. For example i could make it look like this http://www.crackedconsole.com/car/Carputer/demo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatingupblacktop Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nice job. Having skin options is great, but I think you should tone down the colour of your faceplate as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakataj Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nice job.
