    I need a carputer!!!

    Ok heres the deal I have been wanting to put a computer in my truck but dont have alot of mula heres my limit 800$ for everything me and my friend will be installing. So if anybody could help me build a system that would be great I will be running a 4 channel amp and a mono for my sub off the pc. I also want a touchscreen but based on the measurements my dash opening is 8" diagnally and 7" across from left to right. What size of monitor would be good for me 8" or 7"? This computer will be used for viewing DVD's and other video formats, listening to Mp3's, XM radio, FM and occasionally GPS. Thanks in advance this website is alot of help.

    You may be able to trim the dash and make a custom cover so it will look nice.

    No, nobody's heard of a Liliput monitor. Must be a new brand.
    Audigy ZS 2? You mean they're still making Sound Blasters?

    How about the Wiki?

    Everytime I see a post form pervert, his damn text thingy under his name is different.
    Lilliput is crap, depending on who you ask. They like to stop working for no reason, or never work in the first place, or have the menu in Korean.
    Quick! To the Popemobile!

    This last time I ****ed someone off, methinks.
    Previously, it's because bgoodman likes to screw with me.

    And I have to agree with you about the Liliput quality. People either love them and have zero problems or have nothing but headaches.

    Someone told me that the screens are taken out of old slot machines.
    Anyone know the truth to that?
