Mounting Laptop in Trunk

**bimmeracer** · 11-08-2006, 07:01 PM

I want to mount my laptop in my drunk on back of the fold down seat. I want to mount it there with some type of rotating mount. can anyone help me with this and give me some ideas of how i can do this?
I also want to be able to wrap it with trunk carpet.

I would be a bit concerned about wrapping a computer in carpet... It would act like a heat insulator and possibly cause overheating.

I dont want to wrap the laptop, just the base.
lol

uhmm, that's the portion that gets hot....

I currently mount the laptop onto of one of those laptop fans.

so then wrapping the laptop fans in carpet wouldn't make much sense, I don't follow what you're wanting to mount?

the laptop and the base are going to be mounted together on top of a piece of board that has been wrapped in trunk carpet.
Someone on another site recommended that i use a lazy susan device.

mount>carpet>laptop cooler>laptop

Is that the right order?

Why have it turn anyway, cause if it turns you have to figure out how to get it to lock in, so it dosn't woble as you're driving...

Correct order. I it to be able to turn so that i can adjust the laptop whenever i need to from where ever. it will also be kinda cool to have.

hrmmm - most lazy susans I've seen are super flimsy and would only hold the spices you put on them in the cabinet.

being able to adjust the laptop from where ever whenever you need....why?

are you going to be riding around with the back seat folded down, reaching back to the trunk while driving to get to the laptop?
