Waterproof LCD --> ATV computer

**rhurley** · 11-15-2006, 12:53 PM

Hey,

I'm planning to build some sort of a computer for an ATV that would handle GPS, engine/drivetrain status, MP3, radio, DVD/CD, microsoft functions...etc, but have been looking at PC and LCD options.

Is www.autonode.com the only place to get good rugged/vibration/extreemly waterproof LCDs? They are very costing, and was wondering what others have done to get a decent product that is waterproof and effective.

As for PCs, I found www.littlepc.com. I have no idea if this is what I want, but what would yall suggest for the best vibration/waterproof application for an ATV?

Thanks for you help,
-Andrew

i gots one of dems cf-29 panasonic toughbooks... mines got a touchscreen, and a transmissive (easy to type on) backlit keyboard... that combined with my auto mount, combined with internet card = awesome. i spent around $5000 on mine though...

i've dropped mine twice, (once last weekend lol... it happened to be raining out, and landed in a huge puddle about 3" deep lol)... (it fell outta the sling case)...their great machines

Sure, but it is ALL about the money at that point. What you want won't be cheap, unless you do it yourself. And, that can be done, just takes some ingenuity.
