    Desktop pc transform it to carpc

    Dear friends

    I have a desktop pc and i want put it to my car.

    I have some questions :

    - Can i use the desktop tower? if not what is the cost to buy a smaller case?

    - What about the power? what i need (suplier etc)

    - I already have a touch screen (7') what cables i need?


    Thanks a lot

    Yes.

    Depends on the model you have. Most touchscreens use VGA for the video and USB for the touch controller.
    If you have a touchscreen to control your in-dash DVDplayer, then don't expect it to work with your PC.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
