Initial test last night was great. Temps are all in check, even after a couple hours of me tuning the audio settings. Sound quality is so much better than the stock cd player, even with the amps. Still figuring out all of roadrunner and optimizing the system.

Pics of computer setup will be uploaded tonight
Pic of car:

For some reason this is the only "before" interior shot I have:

HD radio and GPS under gauge pod

I cut off the face of the stock radio and glued back in all of the buttons. I can place the faceplate over the screen and it looks stock.

forgot to get a pic of the computer and power inverter. Coming soon

Awesome! I'm using the same zotac board. Let me know if you have any problems getting it to come out of S3 Sleep Mode. Mine keeps crashing on me, and I'm forced to powerdown or hibernate when I cut it off.

The 9600 is a good choice for a quad core. I had originally planned to use a 9850 (the 125W) but it just ran too hot.

Have fun!

Nice work

How much do you bought the Zotac GF8200-C-E Mini ITX Motherboard ? and from where?

I will wait for the rest of the topic

amazing, can't wait to see more photos

Thanks to all!. Had some wiring issues (relay freaking out) so I spent about 14 hours last night stripping my interior, and rewiring all of my accessories. What a huge PITA. But at least now I have ample wiring blocks for the future.
Only have cellphone pics for now, but today Im installing my 4ch amp and rear speakers, and will update the pics.

eigenVector: So far I haven't had enough time to play with the sleep. As I was writing my thread I happened to come across yours and was hoping I wouldnt have the same problems. Nice build by the way, looks like you put alot into planning it out. Ill let you know once I get to the Sleep/Hibernate issue.

TBT1988- Thanks. After lots of problems with others, 99.9% of the time order from Newegg.com You might be able to find things a couple bucks cheaper else where, but newegg ships immediately, gives no crap about returns, and you know you will get what you ordered. Right now its $104 with a $10 MIR.

greygizmo- Thanks, Later tonight Ill replace the crappy cellphone pics with some real ones.

Looks good man. You really went wild tearing your car apart. It's not your daily driver I hope. Keep us posted.

**MyOtherRideIsUr** · 05-20-2009, 11:32 PM

Re did wiring today and added new amp and rear speakers. Updated the pictures above and removed the old Sounds so much better with everything in. Still waiting on headliner antenna, cameras and that should be it.
BTW, this is my daily driver.
