Thread: Carputer Chasis Placment

Ok im a noob here.
im a noob to carputers, but not computers.

heres the deal. i have been wanting to put a carputer in my car, had it all planed out for my 1985 Mazda RX7, then the engine died and i had to get a new car.

with my new car being a longer car i was considering placing it in the trunk. however thinking about it that would mean having to route all the cabels for power, interface, and speakers into the trunk.

heres the question. where have you guys/gals placed the chasis of your Carputer in your car?

in the dash? under front seat? under front passenger seat? in the trunk?
im just trying to figure out the best place to put it that would reduce the amount of rewiring that i will have to do.

thanks all.

(and yes i used the search but didnt get the answers i was looking for)
please keep in mind im shoprt on cash and using the computer parts i have on hand (ie. mobo, hdd, CPU, RAM, CDrom) and planing on ordering a DC-DC power supply, and screen. so this means using desktop computer parts (ATX form factor, Celeron 500mhz chip etc etc) all mounted in a custom built case.
