Thanks =)

I might bondo the screen, but first on my list of priorities is getting the damage fixed from being sideswiped, so the project is kinda on hold until that's settled. =(

Next on the to-do list for the carputer is resolving some minor electrical items such as amp turn-on delay, installing fuses, etc. Once I get to the point where I can bolt the computer into the dash, I'll be able to put the console bezel back, and then I'll know whether or not I'll bondo the screen.

Edit: That glidepoint you mounted came out real nice, can't wait to see how you mount the keyboard.. If I actually had a real armrest I might attempt it as well.. lol

Damn, EB online charges shipping and tax... I thought online was not taxed unless you lived in the same state.

Same state as any outlet. EB probably has outlets in a lot of states.

dunno what glidepoint you're talking about

I've not taken any pictures of any of my console yet. Are you referring to the touchpad that someone had pictures of previously in this thread? if so, thats not me

But mines gonna look pretty sweet!

for doing multi-key triggers, you might want to look at girder, although i guess it's not free any more...

yeah, i got finished with the keyboard and then all i had left to do was drill 7 1/2" holes for some pushbuttons to go into. i accidentally grabed a really dull bit and since a lot of stuff i was drilling on had a mix between balsa wood/bond/plastic it actually cracked the piece a bit. i'm gonna sand it down a tad, reinforce it and rebondo a small section and then reprimer it. kinda bummed about the whole ordeal, but i should have something working tomorrow or the next day. also the holes i drilled were slightly too big so the buttons almost go through. i have to put bondo filler around the holes to make it not do that. =\
