Thread: DC Metro Monthly Car PC Meets/BBQ

I got the grill. BUMP who else is gonna show ?

I hope I can make this month's meet...it's been years since I went to one, but I need to finish up some install bidness (glassing in a sub and re-doing a tray for my processor controller) before I go...The sub box mold/back of the sub is glassed, I have to do the speaker ring and glass/sand/putty/sand/glaze/sand/cover the front.

I've also (tentatively) decided to re-do the center console in my Acura in carbon fiber, but that probably won't be started this month, much less finished by this month's meet. I'm tired of my touch screen looking almost stock...curious about the possibility of an android tablet car pc as well, and that will require some moddability to my console, so...

Sonic, if you know someone at the meet who has, or if you could show me one of the smaller carPC power supplies (say, around 90W), I would be interested in seeing one and hearing about user experiences. I currently have a laptop/docking station install, but I'm curious about moving to a micro ATX install, atom-based (perhaps an ION platform), with an SSD and automated startup/shutdown. If there was such a power supply available for sale at the meet....

I would like to come and take a look although, my install is barely started audio side...much less PC. Hoping by then my car will be mostly back in 1 piece.

No car PC required, if you want tips, demonstrations, or just information regarding the hobby show up, we've actually done car PC installs for people while at these meets lol.

I believe i have an m3-atx HV i could show you. I'd have to go hunting around the "supply" room a bit lol. Its one of those PSUs barely bigger than the ATX connector. I'll check tonight. Glad to see you may be coming. Still have the DLS speaker setup?

I will be there for sure. No car issues nothing else for that weekend.

are we grilling? If so, need to start putting a list together.

I've never been to any of these meets. I can't wait. Unless things change between now and then I can go either Sat or Sun. Can we get a head count?

Thanks,
DominicanJB

As for our attendance, it will be Mags and I.

UPS is delivering this evening, what I hope to be the first in a whole solar power solution ( crossing fingers); I hope to have running by then.
