Early stages of molding in the screen, and so far coming out REALLY GOOD

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j5...PC/p_00003.jpg

As you can see in the pictures cut the bottom off the screen that houses the buttons, then cut a notch in piece on the bezel to mount the buttons roughly perpendicular to the screen!

Have had a carPC in the xB now for the better part of 2 years, the current setup I have now I am really happy with,...right now though I am playing with new front ends particularly Road Runner/Ride Runner. Streetdeck has served its purpose but it seems development of any kind for it has pretty much vanished

The total build/installation time was roughly month and a half

Couple more

USB ports I added...the one on the left currently has the Bluetooth adapter in it
